VR Mount Vesuvius

A was thinking for a possible installation piece, maybe something like being put into the world of one of the citizens of Pompeii during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. It would be VR.

I thought it would be interesting to explore “putting on” another person’s body and “living” history. Also, it would be interesting to be able to attempt to be active rather than passive during the recounting of an experience like the eruption or the aftermath exploration.

If you didn’t know what was going to happen and you were just Quantum Leaped into this ‘body’ / avatar, and then things begin to happen, would you run with everyone? would you go out and try to find the source? would you try to talk to people? would you hide?
