Shelter in Place

When COVID hit and we were all ordered to shelter. Artist, Durk van der Meer, wanted to create a comforting virtual space where people could do just that. The result is a cosy virtual garden filled with fantastical plants in social VR platform, VRChat, so anyone can visit, hang out and chill.

HOW TO ACCESS

You will need a VR ready PC and a compatible headset such as HTC Vive/Vive Pro/Vive Cosmos, Oculus Rift/Rift S, Valve Index or a Windows Mixed Reality headset.

Once you’re inside VRChat in your headset, search for ‘Shelter in Place’ in the WORLDS tab or you can launch the world directly through your web browser.
