First Virtual Reality Museum for Migrant Women: creating engagement and innovative participatory design approaches through Virtual Reality Spaces.“Imagine a place filled with important stories that are hard to tell. A place that embodies the collective experience of immigrant women during their temporary stay”. In this project the first museum around immigrant women in Virtual Reality is created and tested. Working with the only migration centre for women in Monterrey, Lamentos Escuchados, project members (professional developers, lecturers, and interior design, animation, media and humanity students) collaborate with immigrant women and the centre officials to understand the migrant women stories, their notion of space/home and the way they inhabit the centre. This VR museum helps to connect immigrant women with the community while exploring more flexible ways to educate architects and interior designers about alternative ways of doing architecture through participatory design approaches.Partners:University of Monterey (UDEM)Lamentos Escuchados
A unique testing ground where the creative sector and education work together to better understand the possibilities around volumetric video capturing. Within a volumetric studio, dozens of cameras capture all the movements of a living subject simultaneously. These recordings are converted into a fully moving and digital image, which results in an image that is barely distinguishable from reality. Chronosphere gives content creators and scientists the unique opportunity to experiment with volumetric capturing, using the newest volumetric studio within De Effenaar. There is room for a total of twenty projects, and proposals can be submitted.Partners:De Effenaar 4DR Studios Wildvreemd Natlab 360 verbeelding Dutch Rose Media Hyperspace Institute Fontys Hogescholen TU/e Center for Humans & Technology
