Virtual Reality Interactive Mars Exploration Vehicle (MEV) Experience:
The MEV game is a cooperative interactive experience played by three people. Players begin the experience by taking a seat around a stylized command console which is made to look like the inside of a planetary exploration vehicle. Each player is fitted with a VR headsets and headphones with a mic. They are instantly transported to the cockpit of a Mars exploration vehicle. Each player finds themselves looking out the window to see space and the planet Mars below. As the player looks around the vehicle they see 3D digital avatars of their co-players, a cup of coffee, inside the vehicle a bobble head of one of the games creators and their console. At this time the moderator explains the game and control panel.
In this VR world each person had a display screen with four controls which operated the vehicle. As the players land on Mars surface in their vehicle the game begins. Instructions appear on each players screen notifying them of the commands that need action. The trick was that no-one knows who has which control functions. So players need to verbally communicate amongst themselves in order to manipulate the controls which in turn operate the vehicle. Hilarity ensued as they work together, potentially yelling over each other's commands to activate the correct sequence to keep the exploration vehicle moving forward. Missed or slowly executed commands affect the vehicles speed and results in a lower overall time to complete the mission — or worse, getting engulfed by the dust storm chasing them. A leaderboard of individuals on each team’s gameplay performance keeps track of the fastest team creating both a fun co-operative team-base game and a competitive incentivize scenario for the broader show duration.
