About Event

We are going to combine randomly drawn connection cards with VR street view in order to evoke geography based visual storytelling. The idea is to pick a card and then think of a place in your life that resonates with this card. And then navigate there in Google Street View and share with the group what you know about what you see. What you see will be cast to the projector. Let’s see how adding a visual component to storytelling facilitates connection.

I'll supply the Meta Quest 3 VR headset, the VR fabric face masks, the wander app, and cast it to the projector for sharing. I'll also provide a deck of connection cards.

Cards exist such as "You have a random Saturday afternoon free, what do you do?", or "What is your favorite season and why?". Whatever thought comes up, you can show it off in street view, ideally you pick somewhere you've been, somewhere you want to go or something meaningful / helpful, but anything works really. You can crowd source the name of a location if you need. If you are drawing blanks you can always ask for a new card. Share as much or as little as you want! This is meant to be fun and expansive. Time limit to share will depend on capacity.
