Whisper of the wood - LBVR interactive Experience
An immersive, interactive experience that uses music and visual art to evoke emotional healing. Where visitors interact with magical flowers in a fantastical forest, creating their own unique music through unfamiliar yet enchanting forms of interaction. Through sound and art, it soothes emotions that words cannot express.
Process:
Our idea is that flowers are used as carriers for playing music.
Preview mode: When the player touches a flower, a music clip corresponding to the flower will be played briefly as a guide to help the player identify the "sound personality" of each flower.
The background is set as a dream scene that can awaken the vitality of nature. When the objects are placed correctly, the flowers will bloom, the colors will change, and the light will be enhanced, forming a visual "positive feedback".
Learning Outcomes:
Through leading this original location-based VR experience from conception to completion, I developed comprehensive project management skills by coordinating a multidisciplinary team and navigating the complete development pipeline of an immersive installation. I deepened my understanding of user experience design by creating intuitive, emotionally resonant interactions between physical space and digital elements, where users create unique musical compositions through novel touch-based plant interactions. This independent study strengthened my ability to integrate technical implementation with artistic vision, balancing the physical spatial design of the healing forest environment with the interactive audio-visual systems that respond to user engagement.
