Do-X
A role-playing mixed reality multiplayer challenge set aboard the largest seaplane ever built.
About
Do-X is a free-roaming role-playing game in VR that challenges players to work as a team, navigate real-time NPC dynamics, and recreate the first commercial transatlantic seaplane flight in 1929 – without falling apart. Embodied in actual historical characters, players assume the roles of officers aboard this giant seaplane; every action and decision made together determines the plane's fate. The game confronts racial and gender biases using trained machine learning networks to disrupt our perception of reward.
