The second part of the Within project was to further develop the company to a VRT subscription box. To do this, a mailer package, a prototype VR headset, and an operations manual were created to simulate the experience of receiving tangible products and packaging to match the immersive experience of the Within animation.
To develop packaging, prototyping became a very heavy portion of the process. This included the development of a headset with accessible capabilities and ease of use. The idea was to create a viewpoint system that matched the viewing experience of the animation, and so the idea to create a VR headset for mobile phones for maxium accessibility. The mailer box, headset prototype, and operations manual all work together to simulate the user experiences received outside of the digital world in a tangible experience.
A commercial was also produced to tease the product launch.
