CALL ME CALAMITY

Game Designer

Call Me Calamity is an immersive theater experience around the iconic figure of Calamity Jane. Players, equipped with virtual reality headsets, are invited by a comedian in a motion capture suit to tell and create stories together.

The most interesting challenge as an interaction designer was to ensure the engagement and involvement of the participants in a short period of time. The objective is that a group that doesn't know each other can feel comfortable and create a story through acting.

Working with the comedian has been a great learning experience, both in terms of explaining the possibilities of the technology and in terms of discussing with her how to relate her work to this new virtual environment. Creating together new tools and interactions between her, the participants and the environment was truly inspiring.
