Breathe, a location based virtual reality experience, takes place in the not-too-distant future, where man-made climate change has caused a deficit of resources, leading to war in the usually sheltered West. Five users enter the experience together. In the headset, you will embody Rose, a young girl orphaned by war. Throughout the experience, you see through her eyes, hear through her ears, and breathe through her lungs. You interact with the world around you and progress the narrative of the story using your breath through a custom breath sensor. You witness key moments of Rose’s life on her path of empowerment – transforming from a child emerging from rubble to an activist working to better the lives of refugees. You will follow Rose until she is 90 years old, releasing her final breath. But instead of an ending… you witness a new beginning. Breathe begins as an individual experience, but grows into a social experience — where you and the 4 users who began the experience in tandem, will be united by the power of your breath and co-create an entire universe. Even as humanity continues to falter and harm each other, Breathe seeks to remind us of the solace we can find in our similarities.
