Overview
Hot Air Balloon Flight is a Unity-based VR prototype where users experience a gentle balloon journey through snowy mountain landscapes. The experience focuses on slow movement, atmospheric lighting, environmental audio, clouds, and cinematic pacing to create a relaxing sense of height, scale, and immersion.
Fly Freely
Soar with the wind across open skies and mountain landscapes.
Feel the Atmosphere
Experience clouds, snow, and soft environmental sensations.
Cinematic Journey
A calming flight designed for comfort, immersion, and relaxation.
Explore & Discover
Discover scenic views, hidden valleys, and endless horizons.
My Role
- Designed the comfort-first flight experience and atmosphere flow
- Implemented flight mechanics and player interaction in Unity using C#
- Created animations for balloon movement, wind response, and environment elements
- Built particle systems for clouds, snow, and ambient atmosphere
- Handled camera flow, pacing, and cinematic presentation
Technical Approach
Combined gentle motion design, stable horizon framing, environmental states, and spatial audio ideas to create a calm VR flight loop.
Smooth Flight
Implemented stable balloon controls with wind-based drift and gentle movement.
Atmospheric Systems
Used particle systems and volumetric effects to create clouds, fog, and snow.
Cinematic Flow
Designed camera paths and pacing for a relaxing and immersive experience.
Audio & Ambience
Integrated ambient soundscapes for wind, height, and spatial presence.
