Project Summary

** Document an environmental space in Shanghai, China using field collection methods such as 3D scanning, texture photography, and material gathering. Recreate and reimagine the physical environment as an immersive digital experience. **

What I did

pov: you're an ant is an immersive spatial reconstruction of the Shanghai Expo World Park Botanical Garden that challenges traditional perception by shrinking the player to the size of an ant. Developed in Unity with custom Blender assets, the project deconstructs the park’s physical and sensory qualities.
