Abstract

Geometrical Hong Kong is an interactive virtual reality (VR) documentary that provides the audience an immersive touring experience of the lesser-known but visually stunning and highly functional architectural design of Hong Kong public housing estates. In a first-person view, the audience can navigate a series of buildings by changing positions, view the interior and exterior, and listen to brief audio introductions of the architecture. In the design and production of this piece, we formed an indie VR production model that aimed to architect an immersive and interactive experience at an affordable cost. To realize this goal, we chose a simple interaction model and consumer technologies, but emphasized quality cinematography and script writing.
