The conflict phenomenon between ecological environment and city development issue set the start scene

What does your innovation look like in practice?

The immersive experience brought by VR has been proved to be helpful to the limitation of the distance, and it is also in line with the imagination of virtual events in the theoretical framework of future imagination education.
The shooting of 360 panoramic photos/videos have been popular with the purpose of documentary the visual memory of traveling, and the interactive experience brought by Leap motion aero-midi player allows users to simulate the gestures with the first-person perspective of birds' sight, when this experience connected to the performance of playing piano, the most ingenious transformation of this topic appears there.

How has it been spreading?

I joined many Maker Faires to tour all major cities in Taiwan, design artworks for local issues, in some projects I cooperated with non-profit organizations for environmental protection, interact and dialogue with the public, and integrate critical thinking in art and humanities into STEM education as the mainstream opinion.
