Escape the Moonscape
Escape the Moonscape is an experimental virtual tour offering an immersive exploration of the distinctive moon-like landscapes nestled in southern Taiwan. The tour combines aerial footage with interactive storytelling and game elements. This is the main project that I worked on during my 2019 summer internship at Taiwan AI Labs.
The project utilizes various image processing and machine learning algorithms, such as sky replacement, style transfer, and object detection. I flew a drone to collect aerial footage, wrote the script for the story, created art assets of story characters, and prototyped the virtual tour using Python, PHP, and Javascript.
I wrote this and this article documenting the work that I did, my thought processes, and my internship experience overall.
You can try out the gameplay and user experience prototype here.
