The Loop mixed-reality experience: New Worlds was on display at the ‘Meta-Horizons: The Future Now’ exhibition at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul, Korea. This immersive experience stems from a design simulation created by the ZHVR Group for product testing and development. This new version of the experience was refined and expanded for the purpose of this exhibition by the ZHVR Group in partnership with L-Acoustics Creations and the artist Halina Rice.
The visitor is invited to recline in a custom seating area designed by the ZHVR group to match the dimensions of LOOP itself to enjoy the immersive experience. Guests are transported into a virtual space with HTC’s VIVE Pro 2 headset, where they experience the immersive soundscape created by Halina Rice.
Halina Rice is a London-based electronic musician and AV artist renowned for her vivid and eclectic style, using multiple effects and sampling to create original and experimental sounds. The experience also incorporates visual elements by multidisciplinary designer Jakob Macdonald.
