The Unseen

Revealing the hidden world of trees using immersive information spaces

MSc Design in Linköping University, 2019

 
 

Our world teems with life where many of these activities are often unseen by many. By uncovering this veil, will we appreciate nature more?

The project aims to provoke our reflection and understanding of the natural environment through the use of storytelling in combination with virtual reality. 

It brings the audience into the life of trees, where they will see the hidden communications amongst a tree family and how they are dealing with the challenges of climate change. The experience explores critical anthropomorphism - similarities between plants and humans - through designing an experience of tree embodiment using haptic technology.

A video is created to depict this design concept.
