Explore Haiti: An Immersive VR Experience in a Rural Haitian School

Nov 10

02:00 PM - 02:45 PM

Description

Explore Haiti in VR! The new experiential app is modeled off one of Hope for Haiti's partner schools in rural Haiti. Users can explore the three room school, interact with different elements such as a well, chalkboard, flag pole, etc. and connect with one another through customized avatars. The space is designed to not only provide an engaging and hands-on experience, but also to give users an alternative (and more positive) perception of Haiti.

For the 2021 edition of the annual AWE rooom AG created a 3D virtual experience depicting the four main areas of the event: Main Stage, Tracks, Playground and Auggie Awards. At the Main Stage, live streams of the keynotes can be viewed via a large screen. The Tracks area provides visitors with links to the different presentation agendas sorted by industry field.

A special teleport feature allows user to easily switch between the different Playgrounds. Another highlight is the Auggie Award stage. Here, attendees can view the embedded video of all finalists, take a look at the award categories, or experience a 3D model of the award via AR. A live stream of the award ceremony will be presented here as well.
