HONG KONG - A group of Hong Kong students have developed a virtual reality game they hope will allow people to experience the anti-government demonstrations from the view of a “frontline protester”.
The short but detailed first-person game, demonstrated to Reuters in a shabby, high-rise industrial block, allows players to dodge tear gas, duck behind burning barriers and run from riot police. “That does not mean you will have to go out after playing the game. We hope people that fight for freedom will go out anyway.”
Lam, who developed the game with two classmates, said it does not allow protesters to inflict violence or do anything illegal. That would stymie their chances of getting it published by an online distributor, Lam said.Virtual reality headsets can be used to experience the game in 360 degrees.
