Buddy VR pioneers a new genre of interactive animation

Notes:

I looked up other 3D interactive animations to gain some inspirations. However, there are actually not that many VR 3D interactive animations out there. One that stands out is Buddy VR, a 16-mins Virtual Reality game/short film where you can befriend and interact with the 3D animated film The Nut Job’s most lovable rat Buddy. From trailer, I can see that the game is in 1st person perspective and involves a lot of dialogue with the rat Buddy. Players get to know Buddy through a series of non-verbal interactions like exchanging names, petting, playing musical instruments, and more. It’s a humorous, heartwarming 16-minute interactive experience, and also a great piece to take inspirations from for my project.
