TSA Frisky: Check-in, Frenzy and Fun

With new immersive game TSA Frisky, virtually everyone has something to hide.

And that "virtually" is a pun, of course.

At VRLA 2018, we met Remy Bustani and Preston O'Bryan,  co-founders of Savannah-based startup Out There Entertainment.   As creators of TSA Frisky and new VR entrepreneurs, they were enjoying their first expo exhibitor experience (no, we won't say that three times fast!) at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Both Remy and Preston are recent graduates, who say they're "guinea pigs" in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Remy and Preston first came up with the concept for their TSA Frisky game as undergraduate students at Savannah College of Art and Design.   Their inspiration led to opportunity, as their alma mater launched a brand-new accelerator program.

Meanwhile, visitors stopping at their booth were enjoying the opportunity to test their skills as virtual "TSA agents".

The game is seriously addictive--and designed to be both humorous and challenging.   This reporter proved abysmal at checking in the general public for their flights!  Only limited time and a commitment to cover as much of the show as possible prevented a request for a second try.

Remy and Preston talked about their experiences creating the game, and offered both resources and advice for fellow creative entrepreneurs in the virtual-reality field.
