Disappearing NeighborhoodResonance Virtual Reality

Interaction
2024
Today, our perception of the city swings between extremes: retreating into the bedroom or leaping, via phone, into distant worlds. The space between—the neighborhood—fades into a blur, too familiar to inspire reflection. While the internet promises a vast public sphere, it collapses into the scale of a private home, an illusion stretched thin. This disappearance is psychological, not physical: we neglect what’s near, investing passion in unreachable places, trading sustained connection for fleeting satisfaction, and leaving indifference as the quiet default.

Intro:
Resonance encourages people to interact with the community in an AR world where players can move the cube to their desired location, build their own style of STRUCTURE, and then go through a portal to another scene that will see the world affected by your interactions in the AR scene.

The other players will see the perspective of the player who is operating from a monitor next to them, and can direct or think about how they would change and move the cube, promoting teamwork. This means that the future built by different groups will be different, and everyone is encouraged to discover their own small or large interactions with the community, which will have a different impact on the future, as well.

Goal：
  • Foster curiosity about surroundings
  • Highlight the effects of individual actions on the environment
  • Strengthen the connection between people and their communities



                                     




             




















ARVR Platform Conversion Demo：

Goal: 

Smooth transition between ARscene and VRscene. While moving items in ARscene, VRscene needs to generate some items.
                                   




Challenge:
Need to record the cube position in the AR scene and synchronize it to the VR scene. I used SharedState at first to let the system track the objects in the two scenes, but the test site was outdoors and the network was not very good, using SharedState would cause the file to get stuck directly, and in the end, I used the number of times I recorded the movement in the AR scene to open the prefabs that had already been laid out in the VR scene to be used as a simulation of the display.

For richness also need VR prefabs are randomly generated. 

cubes in AR scene need to be can regenerate [take one away and generate one again]. 

Memory problemquest can't record too much data will cause lag.
