JOURNEY TO THE PLACE OF TOMORROW

Journey to the Place of Tomorrow (JTTPOT) is available on the Steam online digital distribution service!  Get it HERE!
 
JTTPOT is Oak Lane Media's premiere virtual reality app.  Notwithstanding the user occasionally being attacked by flaming skulls and engaging in dogfights with the Red Baron, we want the experience to be positive and uplifting.  JTTPOT presents a set of ten musical themes, with surrealistic VR supporting elements.  The music was written first, and all the visual and interactive elements are designed to follow the music.  Together, the ten songs create an emotional journey through modern life, in the form of ten unique VR scenes.
 
Each musical scene is intended to inspire different feelings and insights on different life experiences, with light user interaction.  They are diverse in topic.  Each scene has interactivity in the form of surrealistic or symbolic participation in the journey.  For example, in one scene the user witnesses the shattering of a magical prison made of ice.  In another scene the user can travel through a maze that symbolizes old age and the end of life.  The scenes thus lead the user through a deeply emotional VR experience.
 
The underlying symbols, interactive goals, and stories for each scene can be summarized as follows, in order of appearance:
