Our take on Conscious Existence - A Journey Within
The fixed, pre-rendered film format keeps the experience focused on audiovisual presentation, but gives up interactive control over how the journey unfolds. Its short 12-minute runtime also limits how much room it has for development beyond that single linear viewing.
What is Conscious Existence - A Journey Within?
Conscious Existence is a linear, pre-rendered 12-minute film presented in stereoscopic 360-degree virtual reality.
It pairs imagery with voice, music, and sound effects to express the creator’s reflections on life and perception. The app offers multiple viewing modes, a choice of two voice options, separate volume controls for voice, music, and sound effects, and image adjustments. Three video files are included: a high-quality H264 version at 4096 × 4096 pixels and 60 fps, an H265 version at the same resolution with somewhat less detail, and a lower-resolution H264 version. The H265 option requires the HEVC Extension for Windows. The experience includes flashing, strobe-like visuals. The creator recommends an Nvidia GPU because AMD compatibility is not guaranteed.
