Photo of the installation: Virtuelle Mauer/ReConstructing the Wall

The virtual reality installation Virtuelle Mauer/ ReConstructing the Wall is shown as a ~3m x 5m (~9’ x 15’) interactive 3D computer projection, a life-sized image that immerses users visually in the virtual space and engages their kinesthetic senses. Users move through and explore the interactive 3D world of the VR artwork with a simple-to-use joystick.

Stereo speakers convey background ambient sounds such as traffic noise and birdsong, but at certain locations in the virtual world one can also hear recordings of archival documents dealing with escape attempts and other historical events that occurred in the project area.
