Blood & Truth
Fight for your family's lives. Put on your PlayStation VR headset and become elite Special Forces soldier Ryan Marks in a hard-hitting shooter with all the explosive action and drama of a Hollywood blockbuster — inspired by PlayStation VR Worlds' massively popular The London Heist experience.
Blood and Truth is an award-winning VR action shooter set in modern-day London with a Hollywood-calibre cast and story.
While part of the in house team at Sony London Studio, we created a unique UI design language for VR to represent the protagonist, Ryan Mark’s, “Military Mind”.
Research
Exploring real military symbolism and iconography, combining handwritten elements to showcase the character’s personality. The primary idea behind the UI being was that it was coming directly from the character’s memory and not a part of a traditional HUD.
Style Exploration
Explorations In Engine
We tested our style direction by creating 360° videos to showcase how the designs would work in a 3D environment, and created assets to be tested in engine.
We used multiple tools including VR such as sketching, simulation and preview software that were all essential to allow us to improve the readability, accessibility, composition and colour design of the UI.

UI Elements
It was important for all UI elements to capture the essence of not only the rigidity seen in military design but also the hand-drawn spontaneous nature of the character.
