MR INSTALLATION | HOCHSCHULE DARMSTADT | 2024

TOOLS: UNITY | PHOTON FUSION 2 | BLENDER | META QUEST 3 | 6X4K POWERWALL

A multi-sensory Mixed Reality installation exploring Death and Transition, combining a Quest 3 headset with a 6x4K Powerwall to create a dramatic digital landscape for a single visitor at a time.

CONCEPT

“In Between” places the visitor in a physical space extended by the Quest 3 headset, while a PC drives the Powerwall around them.

EXPERIENCE

The space combines the MR headset, the Powerwall, actors and real props on the floor. The traveler walks barefoot through it. At the journey’s end, each visitor is judged on how they navigated the space, which decides whether they rise or fall.

DEVELOPMENT

Developed during the 6th semester of AR/VR Design at the Mediencampus, Hochschule Darmstadt. The headset and the Powerwall run as one networked scene: Photon Fusion 2 keeps the visitor’s view on the Quest 3 and the Powerwall render in the same state in real time.
