Role: Producer, Director, Editor

Linear non-interactive version; 

During my ASU master's program in LA, I directed and produced "On The Brink," a VR film highlighting climate change effects in the Horn of Africa. It combines 360 VR and photogrammetry to immerse viewers in the local struggle against drought-induced hunger and hardship.



The film features a detailed 3D scan of a refugee tent interior, offering a vivid glimpse into the living conditions of displaced families. The project was commissioned and Launched on 25th of January, by Hungry for Action, a coalition of charities including Save the Children, One Campaign and Global Citizen.

Many families find themselves residing in makeshift tents similar to this one. Such makeshift tents, assembled with whatever materials are at hand – often ragged clothing, plastic sheets, and locally sourced items – serve as shelters for thousands of displaced families. These living conditions become particularly challenging during the rainy season. To gain a more intimate understanding of Ayan's living conditions and to truly comprehend what life is like in these circumstances, you can explore this tent in VR or AR on Sketchfab.
