Forest - 2017

Come take a walk in a forest whose shape evolves at the whim of the spirits that inhabit it. But don't get too lost in contemplation... you're not alone.

Forest creates a bridge between drawing and virtual reality. At the center, a table where you draw a forest as seen from above. Around, VR headsets for everybody to experience the drawn forest as a shared 3D virtual world.

As spirits of the forest, felt pens are your magic wands. Through a graphical language of shape and color (red for lava, dots for trees, blue for water…), you create your personal forest as you see fit. Draw, erase, scan, rinse, and repeat: the forest never stops evolving. As a wanderer, the VR headset allows you to explore this forest as a shared 3D virtual world while interacting with its other inhabitants.
