“Snorkulus Drift” by Claire Hentschker (2015)

Snorkulus Drift is an immersive virtual reality experience with both physical and digital elements. The  snorkel headset is worn inside a kiddie pool and exploration of the virtual reality is accomplished by moving around in the inflatable pool. Above the installation are projections of the visuals from inside the headset. This project was part of The Drift’s H3O//02 event.
