Oculus was big on rebranding for holidays and events. Christmas was obviously a big deal. During the holidays, we would fully transform the VR store, the Oculus Home environment, the mobile app, and the desktop app with festive themes.
After pitching several concepts to the team leads, this was the holiday theme I designed and implemented for Oculus Home one Christmas season. The concept was “Oversized Treats,” bringing a playful, larger-than-life candyland feel to the environment.
This was my project from start to finish. I developed the concept, designed the holiday assets, coordinated with a third-party studio to have them built, and then integrated everything into the scene myself. It was a ton of fun to bring to life.
There was even an unexpected legal issue involving Hershey’s Kisses appearing in the scene—happy to share more about that if you're curious.
