Wasted: Into The Microverse<\/h1><\/div>

VR experience revealing the future of our discarded waste<\/h3>

Wasted: Into The Microverse is an interactive narrative experience for Oculus Quest about the surprising timelines of our discarded waste and our relationship with the materials we consume. <\/p>\n

The experience shrinks the viewer down to the size of a bottle cap and places them in the midst of our rubbish at different points in history, from the suburban street today to a toxic beach 1000 years in the future. Along the way, players hear from personified objects of different materials – an aluminium can, a plastic bottle, a piece of styrofoam – as they tell us the stories of their lives, degrading over tens and hundreds of years in the natural environment. <\/p>\n

Wasted is a mixed media VR experiment, using physical model making from BAFTA-winning animation studio Second Home, to inform photogrammetry objects in 3D environments in collaboration with Holosphere VR. The project is a StoryFutures Academy Kickstart project. <\/p><\/p><\/div>
