AURORA
Children expressing friendship through virtual auroras
AURORA is an interactive experience that uses the ZED 2i stereo camera and Unreal Engine 5 to create
virtual auroras that follow users' movements. On April 16, 2024, a total of 21 third-graders from the
Helsinki German School participated in a project during afternoon care. The children were divided into
four groups and asked to interact with AURORA to express friendship.
Setup
My assistant Raphael and I set up the project at the gym hall of the Helsinki German School.
Friendship Bracelets
As a reward for their participation, I made friendship bracelets of cotton yarn for the children.
