“Face Your Deer!” is an interactive experience that challenges the user to overcome social anxiety.

The user is asked to step up to a podium and face an audience of judgemental deer who react to audio cues from the user.

The challenge lies in making enough sound to impress each individual deer and change its state from judging the user to applauding the user for their bravery.

Face your Deer! was developed at the Animationsinstitut of the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg as part of the “Anitrailer, Anifilm” module.
