Imagination and Joy: XR Painted Art
—
This artwork is focused on VR-painted artwork. Whether it's the joy of watching smiling crabs, the grandeur of rugged mountains, the fusion of international cuisines, or a rendition of a fantasy world like The Lord of the Rings, these hand-painted experiences highlight and celebrate the spirit of joy, awe, and wonder.
Our project evokes a sense of imagination through both video and VR formats, celebrating humanity and inspiring audiences to connect
with their own creativity.
