Unseen Stories

Unseen Story is a documentary fiction that takes us into the world of personal stories about the influence and power of information. This project explores untold stories of my family, which I heard from my childhood, about how propaganda changed their understanding of reality during the era of the Soviet Union. In a 3D environment, we are able to have a look on how the things look like at those period of time captured on the camera of my relatives during this period.

Voice-controlled interactions add a personal layer to the experience, allowing players to engage with a narrator who guides them through key moments in history. The narrator’s dialogue is shaped by extensive interviews and research conducted for my thesis "Propaganda: Past to Present".

As this is a prototype, proper audio recognition requires adjusting your Mac’s microphone settings. To ensure smooth gameplay, follow these steps:

1. Open the Audio MIDI Setup on your Mac.
2. Set your microphone input to 44 100 Hz as shown in the screenshot below.

With these settings in place, you can fully experience the power of Unseen Story and engage with the interactive narrative through voice commands.
