As we approached the final week before our presentation, the pressure was on to build our exhibition room. We had concerns about how realistic we could make it, but we quickly realized that stimulating the senses of our users would enhance the immersion. Through lighting, sound, smell, and touch, we aimed to create an unforgettable experience for our audience.
One key element that added to the surreal experience was the use of filters. These filters brought attention to our furniture and perfectly matched our theme of incorporating animals into a co-living space. Upon testing our room, we were thrilled with the results.
To further enhance our project, I suggested adding a narrative for our group. We decided to pretend we were a brand of pluriversal furniture called "Little Wood Homes," and we were selling these furniture pieces to raise awareness about our declining relationship with nature. This narrative helped us create promotional materials for our project, such as an advertisement for our furniture and exhibition invitations with QR codes that showcased the various animals that would be sharing the space with our prospective users. We designed a logo for our brand. We also added background sounds of animals like bees and pigeons to create an immersive experience.
We went the extra mile by conducting photoshoots showcasing our furniture indoors and outdoors, highlighting their realistic interactions with birds. To make the room even more realistic, we borrowed a couch from our studio and props from the film department. We even added vines to hide the pipes from the ceiling, giving the impression of a cozy living room. We also created a window at the 3D workshop and projected a background to complete the immersive experience.
Originally, we had planned to record a 360-degree video of the room and share it on Zoom, but we faced some challenges in doing so. Instead, we decided to do a live video call during the presentation, so that people who couldn't enter the exhibition space could still experience it remotely.
Despite some limitations with the filters not being scannable for some viewers during the presentation, the feedback we received for our project was overwhelmingly positive. Many encouraged us to consider professionally photographing our work to capture its essence even better.
As we reflect on our journey to create an immersive exhibition experience, we are proud of our efforts and the positive feedback we received. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience, and we are excited to explore further opportunities to showcase our project and continue raising awareness about the importance of our relationship with nature.
