Inspired by a noticable lack of public engagement in the creation of public spaces, The Park is a VR public space that is informed by multiple people and what they enjoy doing in public spaces. The experience was created after interviewing multiple people and putting the things that they love doing in public spaces into one consolidated VR experience that I call “The Park”. A public park created entirely based on asking people what they love and putting all of those loves into one space. The current VR experience is an open space that includes a small Art exhibition, a tennis court and camping tent, a music stage with a photogrammetry of an Ableton Push, an outdoor cinema and a hidden dancing space that is activated by proximity. The Park has the potential to grow, and will continue to grow as I interview more people and input what they love into the space. The final end goal is a VR space that is a jigsaw puzzle of many peoples loves that can be used to inform the creation of future public spaces.
