Critical VR Lab II will give participants the possibility to work in the Digital Bauhaus Lab, after receiving an introduction to the Corona hygiene regulations.
Groups of maximal two students can choose between time slots and work individually on two VR systems (HTC Vive + HighSpeed PC). It will also be possible for participants to borrow one of five OculusGO VR glasses as well as one of three Ricoh Theta 360 cameras and use them to work on projects outside of the Digital Bauhaus Lab.
The course emphasises on artistic and opposing ways of working with Virtual Reality concepts. It’s aim is to establish individual approaches to VR, a challenging medium which offers artists new possibilities for expression and intercultural communication, especially at times of the Corona Crisis which creates new challenges to the way we interact with each other.
