Hands-On: Empereur Shows Narrative VR’s Emotive Potential
Empereur, a virtual reality experience created by Marion Burger and Ilan Cohen, effectively tells an emotional story using the Oculus Quest 2. The 40-minute journey takes us into the mind of a father suffering from Aphasia, a communication impairment. The experience combines hand-drawn visuals, narration from Olivia Cooke, and limited interaction with objects. Empereur's strength lies in its narrative, which explores the father's inner self and his daughter's discovery of it. The game includes scripted moments that highlight the challenges of the condition. It offers a window into the father's life without making him pitiable. The experience is reminiscent of Jean-Dominique Bauby's memoir, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, but with its own distinct story. Empereur was showcased at Venice Immersive and will be available on the Quest Store starting October 29. For more details, visit the source at UploadVR.
