Speculative Design for the Metaverse: Anti-Experiences in Virtual Retail

Retail experiences in the Metaverse are becoming increasingly popular, driven by a business model that relies on brand engagement and user-generated virtual worlds (UGVWs). While much attention has been given to ideal design patterns for enhancing user engagement, there is a need for a critical examination of pain poi…

To Cuddle, Mingle, Venture, or Guide: How Architectural Affordances Influence the Experience of Social VR Places

Social virtual reality (VR) encompasses a growing network of three-dimensional virtual worlds where users interact in a shared, embodied way. While research has focused on the social interactions between the users themselves, less is known about how the design of virtual spaces influences these interactions. Our study…

The Image of the Metaverse: A Plurality of Narratives for Immersive Realities

This pictorial explores the challenges and opportunities of creating meaningful virtual spaces in the metaverse. Drawing inspiration from Kevin Lynch’s principles of urban imageability, the authors present a series of narrative explorations and associated graphics that reimagine how space, time, and social interaction…

Superarchitectural: Challenging the Architectural Design of the Metaverse

The metaverse is an immersive virtual realm that allows millions of users to interact with each other, both described by the social intricacies of the everyday and unrestrained by the physical limitations of reality. Yet despite the creative potential to disrupt how the built environment is represented, the metaverse…

Meaning Follows Purpose: Unravelling the Architectural Design Conventions in the Contemporary Metaverse

Thousands of people regularly meet, work and play in the architectural spaces that the metaverse offers today. Yet despite the creative potential to disrupt how the built environment is represented, there exists a prevalent belief that the architectural design of the metaverse is rather conventional and reliant on sim…

Architectural Narrative VR: Towards Generatively Designing Natural Walkable Spaces

The current state of Virtual Reality (VR) presents a limited and underwhelming user experience. Users are restricted from naturally walking beyond the physical boundaries of the real world, unable to fully explore large virtual environments. The virtual manifestation also often mirrors the physical features of the rea…

Engaging Passers-by with Rhythm: Applying Feedforward Learning to a Xylophonic Media Architecture Facade

Media architecture exploits interactive technology to encourage passers-by to engage with an architectural environment. Whereas most media architecture installations focus on visual stimulation, we developed a permanent media facade that rhythmically knocks xylophone blocks embedded beneath 11 window sills, according…

Towards Responsive Architecture that Mediates Place: Recommendations on How and When an Autonomously Moving Robotic Wall Should Adapt a Spatial Layout

Responsive architecture envisions the built environment to adapt to the changing needs of its occupants dynamically. Although it is increasingly feasible to move space-defining objects like room dividers by mobile robots, little is known about how or when such spatial adaptations should occur. We therefore measured th…

SelectVisAR: Selective Visualisation of Virtual Environments in Augmented Reality

When establishing a visual connection between a virtual reality user and an augmented reality user, it is important to consider whether the augmented reality user faces a surplus of information. Augmented reality, compared to virtual reality, involves two – not one – planes of information: the physical and the virtual…
