AN AR VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE
Project Pitch for World Science Festival
March 24 - 28
2021
​
NE SKY is a virtual reality project developed in response to the perceived needs of
The World Science Festival Brisbane.
The term ‘distance’ has evolved to many different meanings for everyone this year. From being physically away from someone or even emotionally distanced from a loved one. The sky acts as a metaphor that grounds us together because at the end of the day, no matter the distance
​
we all still live under the same sky.
LEAVE YOUR SPARK OF HOPE
‘One Sky’ is an Augmented Reality digital installation that provides an immersive experience to share heartfelt stories and messages in real time.
​
‘One Sky’ runs based off data inputs by the public which fuels everything that you see in this exhibition, making every contribution a valuable part of change. Having in mind the goal of bringing comfort and a sense of hope to the community despite all the chaos that we live in today, allowing strangers to take a step back from reality to share parts of their stories or words of encouragement to one another.
Recreating precious moments that may
seem far away during this period of uncertainty.
​
‘One Sky’ will be the next revolutionary icon that captures Brisbane’s stories in a fresh light, these are what you will expect.​

THE UNIVERSE IS YOURS, WE HEAR YOU

A HOPEFUL WISH
Just like how shooting stars signifies hopes and dreams, they will be well kept and shared into this universe - a safe place for many. Sending your delicate thoughts into something bigger than yourself.
SIT BACK & READ OUR STORIES
If you wish to stay private, that’s perfect as well. Navigate around ‘One Sky’ to read stories shared by strangers. You never know, the act of vulnerability might just set that spark of motivation and bring comfort to you when you least expect it. Sometimes we are all strangers but not really.
