Description
Late Night Island is a VR meditation experience that attempts to recall the warm, quiet but lonely feelings. Following the light hint, visitors will find the mysterious coffee shop hiding behind rocks and forest, and enjoy the music I chose. This piece is aimed to help people relieve the pressure and embrace the loneliness during quarantine by creating an imaginary resort.
This work is inspired by my personal experience of staying at a coffee shop until midnight. I used to visit cozy and dim light coffee shops when I didn't feel like going home alone. Coffee shop for me is an escape from the boring and limited space. Currently, many people like me are restricted to our own rooms, which results in the feeling of ultimate isolation and despair. Through creating a nonexistent island in Virtual Reality, I would like to invite people to take a break and get away from the limit of reality.
