LEVEL DESIGN & MECHANICS
1st Scene - Headquarters
The user is greeted into the experience and then chooses which specimen to explore. This personal HUD will also work as a knowledge testing platform for explorers (students). It is designed to be a round table so that the app supports multiple users at the same time in the future.
2nd Scene - Exploration Room
The user spawns a bit far from the actual cell, inside of what seems to be the container of this specimen, this gives the opportunity to show the swimming-like movement system with which the user will reach the inside of the cell and start exploring. To scan an organelle the user needs to extend both of their hands towards the target.
