In this episode of Dr. VR, I’m joined by the brilliant minds behind the highly anticipated VR experience Human Within, Anne Weigel and Avi Winkler, to explore the creative and technical journey behind this groundbreaking project, releasing on January 9th.

Developed by the innovative team at Signal Space Lab (Montreal, Canada), Human Within is a powerful exploration of identity, technology, and human connection, brought to life through an extraordinary blend of live-action footage, interactive 3D environments, and choice-driven narratives. This immersive experience invites players to shape their journey through meaningful decisions, merging storytelling and gamification in ways that challenge the boundaries of VR.

Anne and Avi share their insights on how Human Within came to life, the challenges of blending mixed media formats, and how their collaborative dynamic brought depth and emotion to the experience. We also dive into the themes of player agency, interactive point clouds, and the profound messages embedded in the narrative.
