Abstract:
The paper describes an art installation based on a local cooperative cross platform VR/PC game for three players. The story is based on the historical story of a nuclear power plant, which was built, but never turned on because of a public referendum. The game mechanics is built upon interaction of three playable historical characters: engineer, activist, and politician. The main goal was to induce empathy in the players by replaying the game from each character’s perspective. We present the story implementation, custom made interfaces, physical setup, and an evaluation by recordings from four-month display in a public gallery.
