ChronoShore: Diagetic Temporal Exploration in a Simulated Virtual Coast Environment

This paper introduces ChronoShore, an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience designed to explore diegetic time manipulation mechanics within a semi-realistic coastal environment. Traditional 2D video scrubbing methods fall short in immersive settings, particularly for understanding time-bound processes such as simulations of geology or biology. ChronoShore addresses this by allowing users to interact with celestial bodies to dynamically control and experience the passage of time, currently showcasing different weather events and atmospheric phenomena.
