Stylized VR Environment with Diegetic User Interface
This environment is a small interior environment of a stylized witch wooden house with diegetic User Interface ( UI ) in Virtual Reality ( VR ). The room contains a table , chair , books , dining table , and other assets that fit with the overall magic theme . The art style is based on Pius Bak , a freelance illustrator ’ s artwork . The diegetic UI for this environment is a magic book that contains a collection system menu , some setting menu , and an inventory system .
The goal for this thesis was to improve my skills in style matching , to understand the difference between designing a VR environment and a normal game environment , to learn skills in VR development , and to help me gain a better understanding of UI type and UI design .
To achieve those goals , I did style breakdowns on several drawings from Pius Bak , making sure I understood his art style . Then for the interior design , I collected references and came up with an overall layout for the room . After testing the position and sizes in VR , I designed each asset based on the art style and the magic theme for the environment . The diegetic UI style also matches the magic theme . I tested the position , size , collision box , different colors , and designs for each menu , and tested the font and refined it based on playtesters ’ feedback .
