Buko’s World

Buko’s World is an ongoing project based in exploring the use of traditional illustration with immersive technologies. I wanted to design a fully functioning world of organisms, monkeys and habitats which an audience could experience tangibly. This led me to create a virtual reality world which I will continue developing. The main character is a baby monkey called Buko which the viewer will follow through the world. The world is made up of an underground cave system full of organisms and a barren above ground landscape. A mutualistic relationship has developed between the monkeys and an organism called the ‘parasite’.

Virtual Reality Scene

This is footage from inside the first virtual reality scene that I completed for Buko’s World. The end goal is to create an immersive experience with binaural sounds and animations guiding the viewer through the world. Once I have access to equipment I will continue working on the virtual reality aspect of this project.

360 ° Video

As a response to the corona virus lockdown I had to adapt my work since I no longer had access to a virtual reality headset. I have been working towards creating a 360° video taking the audience through the world.
