Synopsis
Using VR to document stories of war
Co-creator of ‘Home After War,’ Felix Gaedtke shares the challenges of using the VR to tell an intimate story of a humanitarian crisis in Iraq. Crafted using photogrammetry and stereo capture, the room scale installation takes you to the home of an Iraqi father, who tells you about the loss of his sons to an improvised explosive device (IED) left from the war. Using VR allows for a unique perspective to experience a place and it people, which is especially interesting in the realm of documentaries.
