Forestverse
METAVERSE to connect to live streaming the forests
Forestverse is a virtual space that livestreams sound and images of forests in Japan. Each player disguised as an animal meets and talks to others in the space while experiencing an existing forest. Intuitive UI provides operability to move around the space by tracking the direction of the player’s face. Also, the player’s facial images, hand movements, heartbeats and expressions are analyzed and reflected in the animal avatars in colors representing emotion. Our hope is that this virtual world will connect with the existing forest of one’s choice and nurture sensitivity to the importance of nature and living creatures.
