Description: JTTPOT presents a set of ten original musical themes, with surrealistic VR supporting elements. All the visual and interactive elements are designed to follow the music. Together, the ten songs create an emotional journey through modern life, in the form of ten unique VR scenes. Each musical scene is intended to inspire different feelings and insights on different life experiences, with light user participation. They are diverse in topic. Each scene has interactivity in the form of surrealistic or symbolic participation in the journey. For example, in one scene the user witnesses the shattering of a magical prison made of ice. In another scene the user can travel through a maze that symbolizes old age and the end of life. The scenes thus lead the user through a deeply emotional VR experience.
Review: ‘Journey to the Place of Tomorrow’ (or JTTPOT for short) is an interactive music album of sorts that is more an art-piece than anything else. Featuring 10 songs with various weird, dream-like experiences, many of which you can interact with, it is something that is hard to put into words. In short, you listen to music and watch what is going on and what is about it as you don’t have to interact if you don’t want to. Its definitely not worth the current asking price of ‘£7.19’ but if it ever becomes petty much free it might be worth taking a look if you like the weird side of life. It was kind of interesting I suppose but in a WTF kind of way.
