Old Friend

A room scale VR music video experience set to the song Old Friend by Future Islands. Presented by Wevr, available now on Transport Premium. For HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, this animated psychedelic dance party digs deep to pull out as much nonsensical joy as possible from the viewer with a barrage of bright colors, fun interactions, and happy bouncy characters having the best time. It's contagious. Tyler worked alone on all the visual elements, and got some dance inspiration help from close friends and family.
