Week Nine - Booth Ideation

After examining the programming and purposes of booths within a building, I have decided to begin researching the virtual realm to be used within these booths. The idea is to incorporate "futuristic" technology, that is becoming available to us today. Virtual simulation has been an inspiring and exciting technology that people have worked on for years. The following video examines where we are currently at with this technology, in the hope to inspire a design idea for my booths.

This idea of being to access a virtual world is vast becoming a real possibility. An interesting site that I came across uses the idea of having members sign up to a virtual world, where they can interact with each other, meet in various places and events, play games and drive cars etc. You can create your own virtual avatar, create your own virtual home and other objects, sell these objects for online money, and do normal everyday activities and interact with others in a virtually created environment that reflects the real world and a futuristic world.
