A glitched-out cat doing standup. A pooping pile of poop with stick legs. A cute plastic frog porn star, who looks like a friendly neighbor from *Animal Crossing*. These are but a few of the bizarre cartoon characters that you can possess in Character Mirror, the virtual reality “thing” by the awesome animator and short filmmaker David OReilly.

It’s not much of a game, but rather an interesting experiment in virtual space. When you strap on a virtual reality headset, you find yourself looking into a mirror as you shape-shift between the utterly bizarre products of OReilly’s imagination, and there’s a lot of weird eye contact. The project serves as an addendum to his absurdist, award-winning animated short “The External World,” which premiered in the US at Sundance in 2011.

Those lucky few with an Oculus Rift dev kit can [download it here](http://www.davidoreilly.com/projects/character-mirror/?ref=killscreen.com). The rest of us will have to make-do with the film, which isn’t too shabby of a conciliation.
