Under Control is an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience about obsessions and compulsions. This project aims to explore ways in which immersive design can present obsessions and compulsions; to help visualise how they can start small, but slowly become hard to control. This installation brings participants into a virtual room, where they will be able to better understand how different obsessive thoughts can manifest in one’s daily life. With every compulsive action taken to relieve an obsessive thought, they will see that it comes back again stronger, with the obsessive thoughts eventually consuming the entire space, leaving no room or time for anything else.
