An immersive VR experience utilizing game-engine technology to transform a static digital twin of Steamboat Wharf into a navigable historical environment.

Work-in-progress 360° capture from early engine and worldbuilding tests

Research Focus

The research focuses on user agency, investigating how self-directed exploration in a 3D space enhances the public's cognitive connection to maritime heritage sites.

Current Stage

The work is in its earliest phase: technical testing of the game-engine pipeline and initial worldbuilding of the historic wharf. The clip here is a work-in-progress capture from those experiments, not a finished experience. As the environment and interaction model take shape, this page will grow with them.
