The project investigates the possibilities for implementation of interactive cinematic narratives in the Oculus Rift. Using live action 360 degree footage our team created an interactive narrative experience for the Oculus Rift to explore how stories can be told in virtual reality. During the experience, you are not just passively watching a story, but you are a character who can actively influence how the narrative unfolds.
In A Perfect Party you, as the main character are hosting a get-together for your best friend who wants to propose to his girlfriend. Everything depends on you to make the party a success: potential disaster is everywhere. By looking around and interacting with the environment you may try to prevent things from running out of control. It’s up to you to make this party perfect.

Recently, the local governance bodies in Bangalore came up with a decentralized plan to tackle the waste management crisis in the city.
Dry Waste Collection Centers (DWCCs) are being set up in every ward to implement this decentralized system. With the courts ordering landfills to be closed, it becomes imperative for this decentralized plan to succeed. Will it?
‘ಕಾಸು-ಕಸ / ₹ubbish!’ is a game that drops you in the middle of this unfolding situation. You play the role of a DWCC manager and experience firsthand the complexities and demands of the job. You have to grapple with the bigger picture too – the push and pull of the economy and the environment.
A board game for 4-6 players that supports both Kannada and English, ‘ಕಾಸು-ಕಸ / ₹ubbish!’ challenges you to tackle Bangalore’s waste crisis. Will you ensure a clean city before the landfill overflows?
‘ಕಾಸು-ಕಸ / ₹ubbish!’ was developed as a collaboration between Fields of View, Bangalore; IIIT-Bangalore; MediaLAB Amsterdam and CISCO.
