Paula Strunden – Drawing a Virtual Utopia
Move through your own utopia with VR artist Paula Strunden. Paula will demonstrate an intuitive technology that brings Virtual Reality within reach. Participants project their ideal learning environment with paint and brush onto a 360° panoramic photograph of a space inside Het Nieuwe Instituut. The designs will then be converted to 3D and can be experienced live with the aid of cardboard VR glasses. The result is a micro-utopia, a shared, immersive and interactive version of the future learning environment of your dreams.
