Vertigo is an interactive art installation that invites users to discover a surrealist and futuristic journey in virtual reality. It is an immersive 3D environment that uses the principles and techniques of video games to offer an atypical physical and aesthetic experience to the public.
The "spect-actor" equipped with a virtual reality headset, the HTC Vive, and its hand controllers, will be able to move in the virtual space by defying the laws of gravity, and will be able to interact with different objects that populate this surreal and High Tech "cadavre exquis" to reveal hidden properties.
