An Alien on an Elevator

In my Earth Elevator demo that I created,  for extra fun,  I added a stranded alien at the inner core. If you wave to the alien, it gets on the elevator with you for the trip back up to the surface.

Riding the  Earth Elevator with "Mr Grey". 


For me, riding an elevator with strangers can sometimes feel a bit awkward. Still, I was  quite surprised with how awkward I felt while riding an elevator with an alien.  And now that I've had this demo out for a while, I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.  When running the demo,  I've even had users feel too uncomfortable to continue the experience.   It is always fascinating to me to see how much more intense an experience feels in VR versus watching the same content on traditional media.

In case you were wondering, the alien is "Mr Grey"  from  the Alien and Cocoon Unity package by Duane's Mind.
