Description

‘Geometrica Situ’ is an immersive Virtual Reality (VR) experience where the players are able to explore a digital recreation of a physical location called ‘HotHouse’, located at Aliwal Art Centre.

This project was showcased during the Singapore Art Week 2024.

Gameplay

I took into consideration that most people wouldn't have any prior experience with the virtual reality headset. Thus, I've used collision boxes as a method to trigger a series of cinematic events.

Environment Development

LiDAR Scanner to capture the points cloud of a studio and imported into Unreal Engine to serve as the base environment.

‍

To aid the development team, I've created a marker around the areas where the interactions would happen and named them accordingly.

Live Performance

A live performance of two of the artists were scheduled and I adjusted the point cloud environment to be audio-reactive to the music.

I suggested an idea of having a virtual camera operator to be able to navigate around the environment. This would improve the viewing experience of the visitors as well as give the operator the freedom to show a certain part of the environment.
