Dead Herring is a VR-Experience in which you solve a murder case.

Dead Herring is a VR-Experience in which you are a detective, solving a murder case. You can analyse and combine hints by zooming into the microscopic level using a special tool. The game follows the idea of using an affective gaming approach as a possibility to develop new settings with chemical contents for learning chemistry at school or at university. It was developed by students from the Animation department at the University of Art and Design in Kassel in cooperation with the Chemistry department of the University of Kassel. Idea and supervision: Dennis Stein-Schomburg, Mareike Frevert Concept: Dennis Stein-Schomburg, Mareike Frevert, Victoria Kudlek, Leon Böhm, Áron Farkas, Stefan Kreller, Helena Hegele, Luna Hirt, Theresa Lucas, Lara Hoffmeister, David Schütze, Sören Senkök, Paula Berger, Jan Reuter Chemistry experts: Victoria Kudlek, Leon Böhm, Mareike Frevert Production: Jan Reuter, Dennis Stein-Schomburg Programming: Stefan Kreller Sounddesign: Christian Wittmoser, David Schütze 3D-modelling: Áron Farkas, Stefan Kreller, Helena Hegele, Luna Hirt, Theresa Lucas, Lara Hoffmeister, David Schütze, Sören Senkök, Paula Berger, Jan Reuter Animation: Áron Farkas, Helena Hegele, Stefan Kreller Interface-design and -animation: Paula Berger Interface-audio and text: David Schütze, Leon Böhm Actor "Benjamin Herring": Niels Walter Voice "ex-girlfriend": Hannah Schrem Voice "bad guy": Silas Tranter Actress: Eva Keller Supervision – videoshoot Christoph Neugebauer, Christian Wittmoser Characterdesign: Jan Reuter Script: Jan Reuter, Helena Hegele Casting: Luna Hirt, Theresa Lucas Make-Up: Paula Berger Director: Jan Reuter Camera: Sören Senkök Sound: Luna Hirt, Theresa Lucas, Christian Wittmoser Light: Áron Farkas, Stefan Kreller Teleprompter: Paula Berger Script /Continuity: Stefan Kreller, Christoph Neugebauer Post-production: Paula Berger, Luna Hirt, Theresa Lucas, Sören Senkök, Stefan Kreller
