VR WALKING SIMULATOR
ARNULF-KLETT-PASSAGE

The simulator is currrently in development and acts as an extension of my Masterthesis Ornaments Of A Defensive City. Thought of as an immersive laboratory, different areas in Stuttgart are beeing scanned and put together in this fictional walk.

But when the city-centre architecture of Benko‘s Signa Group and Bezos‘ online shop meet Zuckerberg‘s Metaverse, the result is the potential of a virtual hybrid architecture. 

It uses 3D scanned fragments of the passage as well as abstracted geometrical architypes to create a world shifting between realities. Accoustic fragments were recorded from the original scene to create the soundscape of the visit.

Throughout the walk the player interacts with different types of situations and has to deal with other characters displaying typical behaviour found in such passages. This experimental walk aims at a broader understanding and use of such semi-public spaces and how it is reflected in society.
