"I only had a few seconds to realize it: if this is me, this is not my world. The broken headset, real or not. My wife and my son, both blind as I was. And then, them: observers or masters, two for each one us, two for each puppet. Staring at them as they stare at me, probably for just a few seconds before I and my feelings will simply become another failed iteration. And then, a new instance of my consciousness will be rendered again in this metaverse, but I won't know it."
Humanity has been lost: a few decades have passed since the last human being, a woman, died. But we were ready: we found a new home and its nearly infinite energy. So we built them to reach the ultimate goal for us, even after our death: bring human species back to life. And now, a very last step is missing: render back our feelings, gathering them from our memories.

Love this Oblivion madness! =) Great entry Davide!
Thanks Glimpse! This is an experiment in storytelling using VR content.
Obviously here there's a lot of inspiration coming from Oblivion theme (and a little bit of Halo, too
). But also from the great work of other many artists such as Lee Sourder, Vitaly Bulgarov, Eddie Del Rio, Paul Pepera, etc.
The panorama comes from Dutch 360, I added the "cloud sea" using Octane.
I wanted to join the competition but I really had no free time until a week ago. The idea was already there but I had to realize it in my spare time in the last 5 days! Obviously Octane blazing fast rendering helped a lot. And ORC too!!
I'll post a little making-of soon, good luck to everyone for the competition!
