Immersive Museum Space

Looking at the virtual in the real, our museum spaces are already amalgamated of the physical and the virtual. Looking further at the virtual possibilities reveals activities that are invisible otherwise. Virtual Reality is a new medium for the interactive exploration of these activities. The idea is to digitally model the exhibition space itself and make it experienceable in virtual reality with head-mounted displays. By mapping the virtual representation onto the physical architecture, the virtual space becomes tangible – virtual columns can be felt and begin to speak when one listens to them. Objects can be picked up and appear in a magnified view in the middle of the room so that their activity becomes visible. This can be a brain with visualization of fiber webs, a museum object in different stages of material development, or even part of the TA T architecture itself. New neighborhoods can be created, different relationships and unusual insights.
