Everton Library XR
Storytelling heritage project that hopes to raise money for restoring a new building.
XR is a great way to communicate, particularly with projects that involve space and place.
In this project, I supported a Community Interest Company that is looking to restore a derelict building in Liverpool (Everton Library), and getting support through storytelling.
Alongside second year architecture students and lecturers (who did most of the work), the building was scanned and then brought into a games engine to show it to people in virtual reality, 3d animations and holographic displays.
The project is hoping to raise money to restore a really important community asset to communicate its potential as a space.
