Impossible Spaces is a technique that uses self-overlapping architecture to incorporate natural walking in virtual environments without the use of any other movement techniques like teleportation or portals. I am showcasing some design interventions that when applied to self overlapping architecture enhance the believability of the space and might even lower the threshold of detection of the architectural manipulation. These design techniques can then be used by VR narrative developers to futher enhance the believability of their VR narratives. |
Twitch Plays Improv is an experiment in participatory narrative creation that utilizes the live streaming video platform Twitch.tv as an arena for broadcasting improvisational theatre games. Drawing on the structures and implications of the "Twitch Plays Pokemon"phenomenon, Twitch Plays Improv digitizes the performative and participatory conventions of improv, allowing actors and audience members to collaboratively develop dynamic scenes and stories. |
