Description
Memory Eternal | Вічна Пам'ять is a virtual reality (VR) world, which is the product of the work of the Decameron Collective, a group of nine research creators from Canada. Memory Eternal emerged in the wake of the global trauma of COVID-19, and expresses grieving at two scales – personal and collective. In the wake of crises, what do we want to remember and how? What futures should we imagine? How does care ground a wounded world? The world that is located on water and green surfaces under a starry sky and is populated with virtual works of diverse media.
Memory Eternal is distributed as an executable digital download, and is designed to work with virtual reality headsets with hand controllers. It was first exhibited, and has been most extensively tested with the Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset and hand controllers. It was developed in Unity, a cross-platform game engine, and coded in C#. Users can move freely through the fully immersive VR environment using the hand hand controllers as well as head and body movements. Users activate the media artworks installed within the Memory Eternal virtual world by pointing the laser that appears from the hand controller when they approach an artwork and then clicking the grip on the controller. Users can pick up and hold the tablets and magnifying glasses installed in the world by clicking and holding the grip.
