Glaze Space is an immersive culinary game made with Unity and the HTC Vive, which seeks to create a feedback loop between physical and virtual sensory experience. Live physical input (eating a donut) is synced with an animation of the inside of the user’s mouth, which eats the donut in realtime. The experience concludes when the donut is finished and all sprinkles have been chewed.
