#STUDENTS – DEMO: THE 2024 WINNER
Polytechnique Montréal / UCO Laval
The “4DEscape” experience involves a person in the real world and a person in virtual reality, who will be called RWU (Real World User) and VRU (Virtual Reality User) respectively. Through a setting and story that remains to be finalized, the VRU must complete a set of challenges, puzzles in a short allocated time. Destined to a sure death without help, the VRU is lucky enough to have an acolyte to help him through this experience. The RWU will be able to send objects from the real world to the virtual realm thanks to a special device they will control.
