DESCRIPTION: The room-scale VR experience Flux Garden is a poetic reference to a former Chinese Garden in Singapore. Spatialised music compositions accompany the spirits of dancers and turn each walk through the impressionistic dream-like landscape into an individual and unique experience.

WORKED ON: Digital recreation of Nanyang Technological University’s Yunnan Garden (pre-2019) in Virtual Reality. Land topology and foliage locations based on available land surveys. Structures modelled based on photogrammetry captures. Rock sculptures based on photogrammetry captures. Paths and drains procedurally modelled in Houdini. UE4 scripting.
