Design and Digital Research Seminar Series - Thirst: adventures in VR, infrasonics and environmental empathy

The VR project "Thirst" utilises VR technology, stylised 3D animated graphics and an infrasonic score to draw attention to the activity of flora and fauna within the soil. It is hoped that the embodied sensory experiences that immersion in such VR experiences afford will contribute to a broader cultivation of environmental sensitivity and ultimately wise management of precious natural resources such as water.
