Happy Happy Joyland

Interactive ar installation

PREMIERING AT AWE USA 2021

SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA

While we on earth need food, air, and water to survive, Happy Happy Joyland only needs the Power of Happiness. However, due to mysterious forces their infinite supply of this resource has dwindled, leaving the citizens of the land, existing in a perpetual state of meh. But the citizens of HHJL are not built to live in this intermediate state of contentment and will wither away if happiness is not restored. The scientists of HHJL have come to you to help. You have the choice: Find and restore the Happiness Power to bring back their joyous existence or replace the Happiness Power with Sadness Energy to usher in a new age of complete sorrow.

Puppeteer avatars, control special effects and interact with 3d objects--all with no motion capture suits or silly ping pong balls--in this short and fun immersive adventure.
