Virtual reality is a new and innovative means of entertainment we are ever-so privileged to have in front of our doorstep, ready to explore and understand the freedoms and limitations a new paradigm of immersion can bring. One such freedom is high-fidelity audio which can deliver highly accurate spatial information by using off-ear equipment.
This document takes a look at a fascinating concept of an audio-first experience in virtual reality where the player is conditioned into being more attuned to their auditory senses and, in doing so, comes to the understanding that everything is blue.
One of the most challenging things in the world is also one of the easiest things. Often when most are faced with whether one can paint a brilliant work like the Mona Lisa, it's pretty easy to become paralyzed by self-doubt and many other rather nasty beliefs.

From here, we form a table of ideas and simply choose whichever one sounds like the most fun. In our instance, we'll select "everything is blue".
Before heading off into designing anything, we ought to stop and define the actual design challenge (or design problem) at heart. We ought to examine what specifically is at play here when bringing a concept to fruition; although we don't need to have all the answers immediately, we should at least have a sense of where we are and where we're going.
Every design challenge has its requirements and constraints:
