"Feel Noir", 2015
Creating the installation «Feel Noir», we have made some notes which will be useful for people, who work with storytelling in VR
"Feel Noir" – is the experience-art installation, developed for the photo exhibition. The experience consists of the graphic show in VR and the art-installation. We have chosen "noir" as a genre, because of the black and white stylistic of photos (the game of words Film Noir - Feel Noir). To not cause queues, we have made the art-experience for 1.5 min. The object: to tell the interesting story in VR in 90 sec.
The moving and the problem of dizziness
We have decided to rebuild the real exhibition in VR. The giant photo camera, where the visitor can sit, has become a portal to the space of the exhibition. This construction helps the person to poise himself, because in VR he travels inside the same camera. It turns out that our brain gets mixed up less if actions in VR associate with the real life. Besides, we have decided to avoid nonlinear movement and the plot develops on the straight. Driving through the room, the camera with the person inside achieves the opposite wall. The wall goes underground. The viewer finds himself in the room, which imitates outlines of the exhibition area and stops at the same point. Taking VR glasses away, he finds himself at the same position.
The position of the camera
It turns out, that if the camera in 3D is placed in the position of viewer`s head, it seems in VR glasses that this position is behind the head. To provide a viewer with the opportunity to understand that he is inside the camera and see the construction, we`ve needed to place the position of the camera in 3D in some distance from the
camera.

The plot
In fact, the camera – portal reduces the visual angle to 180. It helps the viewer to understand the plot. The viewer has to realize where he is and acclimate himself to the new space. Looking back, he sees a light from the camera (as in the real construction). A digital space is drawing in with light beams. This effect is preparing him to the main action. The photos as ghosts are leaving the walls, hanging in the air and disappearing. The most interesting method in VR – is to break the private space of the viewer, so we have decided to place the first photo very close to his eyes. From this moment the camera is going deeper. The space is drawing in all around the viewer, bright flashes and faces from the photo are appearing in different places.
The sound
We have made the original soundtrack. As a reference we have chosen the composition of Nils Frahm - Toilet Brushes. The music was created in parallel with the animation, so in the final version the animation should fit in rhythm. It turns out that he most important element in the experience is headphones. If the music in the exhibition room is loud, you need tight headphones. You shouldn`t forget that If you use Samsung Gear VR, you will have some difficulties with its side straps.
The installation
The construction is important as well as VR experience. We have understood that people don't like photos in VR glasses, because it hides their faces. So, we have made the installation, where people will make photos and then upload them to social nets. Social nets – is free PR for any event.
