"Place a three-legged toad near the front door and watch as wealth flows into your life." Have you ever encountered such a saying? This wisdom stems from Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese practice that seeks to harmonize individuals with their surroundings.
Feng Shui: Prosperity is an engaging and educational virtual reality (VR) project that immerses audiences in the fascinating world of Feng Shui. This interactive experience allows participants to explore the foundational concepts of Feng Shui in a playful and inventive manner.
Within an octagonal indoor museum, nine distinct Feng Shui items representing different Qi (a mutable positive or negative life force/energy) are showcased. These items are arranged according to the Bagua (nine trigrams) theory, with each occupying a specific direction around a central symbol denoting the balance of yin and yang. Participants can trigger a transformation from the indoor setting to an outdoor environment, witnessing the materials, colours, and scales of the nine items adapt to their new surroundings.
Players are encouraged to interact with these objects, unveiling dramatic visual effects that underscore the deep connections between Feng Shui elements, humans, and the environment. Far from mere mysterious decorations, these items symbolize the intricate relationships that bind us to the world around us.
Feng Shui: Prosperity is more than just a captivating VR experience. It serves as an innovative educational tool, introducing audiences to the captivating principles of Feng Shui while providing an entertaining and immersive digital artwork that invites exploration and interaction.
