Marshmallow Laser Feast's VR Forest Experience from Animal Perspectives
Marshmallow Laser Feast, a collective, created 'In the Eyes of the Animal', a virtual reality installation set in Grizedale Forest, UK. The VR headset, designed as a moss-covered dark globe, transforms the forest into an animal's visual world. Humans perceive only three color wavelengths (red, blue, green), while dragonflies process twelve, resulting in an ultra-multicolor vision. The project offers a journey through an alternative dimension where trees, ground, sky, and forest inhabitants appear radically different.
