VR Prototypes
With:
António Monteiro
The science communication project “Empathic Spaces” presented 2 initial prototypes at the European Researcher’s Night in 2024, for a general public.
Two VR environments were developed, to showcase the idea behind the project, of designing virtual spaces that are inspired by how neurodivergent conditions can result in different ways of relating to space.
Made with Unreal Engine 5.0, streamed to Quest 3 headsets.
“Palace of the Mind”: exploring the idea of unfocused deambulations through a space, purposefully deconstructed to break relations between destination and path.
“Hall of Statues”: exploring monotony and spatial uniformity thorugh repetition and subtle changes.
