Interactive VR installation


Task

To let the users of DAC experience how the design of the architecture affects us. In addition, the goal was to attract a target group of youngsters and their families seeking an experience carried by thrill, fascination and fun while still learning about architecture.  


What we did 

Immersive Stories together with Khora VR created a VR-installation that plays with the user’s imagination and senses of where they are positioned in a room. The VR-experience was carefully drafted to that specific site and it invites the user to ‘walk the plank’ – to interact with the psychical environment virtually enhanced through the VR headset. The virtual room is perceived by the user to be real, as well as the actual position in the room - but it is not. The virtual room is shifted a couple of meters, now allowing the user to break through the glass window that separates the safe ground in the exhibition hall with the daring space outside, many meters above ground level. Do you dare to walk the plank all the way and finally jump?

New perspectives while having fun

The VR-installation We Dare You generated both new perspectives on architecture as well as laughter, cheering and thrills by closely integrating an interacting VR-experience with the psychical scenography and the actual design of the exhibition hall.

We Dare You is a permanent exhibition at DAC and is based on Oculus Rift S VR-headsets.
