East Beijing Road

East Beijing Road is an asymmetric VR installation that reimagines the stories of a building with a history spanning over 100 years in Shanghai, China, whose residents were compelled to move out due to an ongoing gentrification policy.The project addresses the perceptions of the past and present, the fluidity of archives, and the meanings of ruins.A synthetic space was reconstructed based on 3D photogrammetry models captured in this building.The audience, both inside and outside VR, must use distinct interfaces and experience different visual presentations to collaboratively unfold the story.Old and new, digital and analog, real and fictional, and virtual and physical elements interweave.The asymmetrical design in interactive storytelling blends different times and spaces, allowing the re-enactment of the past through audience collaborative
