An immersive and interactive work from The Labyrinth of Time
Stéphane de Gérando
Virtual reality (VR headset) or 360° video (computer)
Collaboration with Gilles Baroin for this VR version, doctor-engineer, virtual reality expert
ZERO POINT
Travel as you choose through this immersive contemporary artwork, Stéphane de Gérando's Labyrinth of Time, with its various spaces, 140 tableaux, endless corridors and teleportations, floating sculptures and words, a symphony of sounds and colors…
Two modes of use
“Free Mode”
With the option to play a game – The user controls their visit by moving freely through the Labyrinth with the possibility of participating in a “game” (see paragraph below). The “Corridors” scene features a system of invisible portals designed to produce “non-linear” effects in order to disorient the user. For example, an endless corridor teleports from one place to another without the user noticing, or sometimes turns three times to the right only to return to the starting point!
"Demo Mode"
In demo mode, the user follows a predefined route, allowing them to explore the entire artwork at their own pace. They can slow down near specific points of interest and then resume their normal speed. Only one joystick is needed to control the journey: forward, backward – pushing the forward button accelerates, while pushing backward decelerates and moves backward.
