Presence makes me think of the fact that although people physically exist in the real world, there is often a piece of their own “virtual world” in everyone’s heart, where there is a scene completely different from the real world, like the ideal country of presence that contains everyone’s consciousness. So the “presence” of the difference or the link between the real world and the virtual world is something that I want the participants to experience in an immersive way.
The following is an outline of a feasible theme that I have temporarily summarized according to our ideas we put forward in class. On top of that I added a few details, some illustrations and examples.
- Software：Unity
- Technology：VR <We can try to do VR with unity first, and if the implementation is not suitable in the future, we can change to lighting>
- Theme：Feel the presence/coexistence of the real world/negative emotions(stress, anxiety, depression…)and the virtual world/positive emotions(unpredictable, unknown, intrigued…).
- Form
- Content
Real World：There are many doors in a narrow corridor, and when the player opens the doors, the corresponding pictures begin to show the real world (anxiety at work, irritability at school, panic at family arguments…).
Virtual World：After the player comes out of the corridor is an unknown only white environment, from time to time there may be some magical phenomena, such as a piano that no one is playing makes a beautiful piano sound.
- Sound
Real World：realistic, immersive
Virtual World：large reverb and delay, electronic
