Welcome to Your Authentic Indian ExperienceTM | Database of Machine Vision in Art, Games and Narratives

A social critique of the cultural identity, appropriation and commercialization of the Native American experience. We follow main character you/Jesse who works as a kind of theme park actor within a virtual reality for people who wish to experience an "authentic Indian experience". The story takes a dark turn as a particular guest seeking the truly authentic Indian experience takes over Jesse's more or less normal life outside of the VR.
