The Airport
Ruben Farrus
2016
The Airport is a first-person supernatural adventure for VR. A teenager and his young hip mother are on their way to take a plane for a summer family vacation when all of a sudden they suffer a fatal car accident…. Unexpectedly, they wake up in an eerie abandoned airport.
The Airport uses the power of presence in VR to create a human connection between the player and a virtual character, and puts them both inside a supernatural adventure in a strange yet familiar world.
