About
Emperor is an interactive and narrative virtual reality experience, which invites the user to travel inside the brain of a father who is suffering from aphasia. Alongside his daughter, we journey into the father’s mental space – imagined as a hand-drawn, monochrome landscape – as she seeks to learn more about his inner self, now obscured by illness.

My Tasks
This project introduced me to the Vicon system, from calibrating the tracking cameras to setting up actors and props in the Vicon software and processing the captured data. Once I got familiar with the workflow, we conducted multiple motion capture tests to understand the system’s capabilities. In addition to running these tests, I worked on cleaning up the test data in Vicon Shogun Post to get a clear picture of the final quality we could achieve.
After confirming that we could capture highly detailed motion – including precise hand tracking – we were ready for the actual shoot. Finally, I also helped set everything up on set to ensure a smooth capture process.
