Rutopia 2

Rutopia 2 is a virtual reality art project, built for the CAVE and CWall virtual reality environments. It describes a magic garden with interactive sculptural trees that branch to distant worlds and transfers users into shared communities. The trees are dynamic, architectural structures based on a single module - a rectangular screen. As the user approaches the trees, they automatically grow. Once fully grown, the tree/screen turns into windows to show views into different worlds. Users can look through the screens to see distant environments, just as we can look through a window to see the outside. Virtual windows cross traditional borders of segregated opportunities - to link the future, the past and the present - to close the distance between the public, the individual and the environment in real-time.
