VR Neighborhood Physical Disorder2023-25
We are developing a process that uses a variety of software tools to construct virtual neighborhoods. The result is realistic, life-like environments created by photographing real sites and processing the data afterward. This VR-specific workflow is being developed in partnership with Dr. Plascak at SPACE Lab, who researches how socio-spatial environments influence health disparities. The demo transports users to a neighborhood near campus, where they can experience either the site as it currently exists or an alternate version that includes elements of disorder.
