In this immersive documentary adventure, we embark on a fascinating odyssey into the clandestine world of migration across the US-Mexico border. Simply step through a 3D portal that transports us to the Sonoran Desert and our journey begins. As we navigate through this virtual landscape, we're tasked with collecting real-life objects left behind by migrants - a discarded water bottle, a weathered picture frame, or a well-worn bible. Suddenly, audio recordings of migrant testimonies are revealed, sharing both poignant and humorous stories that paint a vivid portrait of their experiences. As these narratives unfold, a thought-provoking dialogue emerges, prompting users to reflect on the human side of migration through voice-activated responses. Their reflections then become part of the narrative, sparking an engaging conversation about one of the most pressing issues of our time.
