In our narrative, location-based VR experience “Fate of the Minotaur”, players take on the role of human sacrifices from Athens, sent by King Minos of Crete into the labyrinth of the Minotaur. Players learn the tragic family history of the ancient Greek myth and face the decision to either kill the Minotaur or spare the life of the tormented creature. With multiple scaling options, the content can be experienced in various formats depending on available technical and physical space limitations (180° stereo video, single-player interactive, 4 players in 8×8 meter interactive). Our non-photorealistic, stylized visual approach is inspired by ancient Greek wall paintings and vases, allowing us to create the experience with low technical overhead and a minimal number of required devices.
