| summary |
Virtual Reality technology has been widely explored to simulate environment and spaces in architectural and urban design. However, there is a gap of knowledge on real-world applications of Virtual Reality to conduct architectural research of social impact on existing architecture and domestic interior spaces. This paper focuses on the application of VR within a case study research project entitled Housing Insecurity in Mississippi and the resulting exhibition. By using immersive 360? video to place exhibition attendees inside virtual representations of these residential environments, interviewees’ stories are communicated in a rich and immediate way that other methods cannot offer. The VR presentation of the oral histories information asks how the added richness and detail can help convey their stories more effectively with the goal to increasing empathy for the interviewees, increasing public awareness of the conditions of housing insecurity, and motivating public discussions of solutions. This paper explores the process of implementation and reviews the project's potential, results, challenges, and future directions. |
