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&#8217;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\u2019s a humorous, heartwarming 16-minute interactive experience, and also a great piece to take inspirations from for my project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reference<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yu, S.
