ROAMance | Medea Film Factory
ROAMance is a guided experience in which the proxemics of embodiment in 6 degrees of freedom, worldbuilding, social engineering and a discreet narrative are all subjected to the single goal of facilitating an engaging, open, meaningful and unbiased conversation with another human being. It is designed to celebrate the encounter and encourage attentiveness by setting you up on an eventful walk in virtual reality with a perfect stranger whose features you will have to virtually devise based on your interaction alone.
ROAMance is an exercise in nurturing deep connections in the media landscape that is dominated by the immediacy of swiping, and the aesthetic regime of beauty.
ROAMance will first have a festival run as a location based experience for two participants or a performance for two participants. It will later be released as a standalone app for the 6DoF headsets that will serve both as a standalone experience and an alternative to the dating apps available on the market.

ROAMance
Short synopsis:
ROAMance is a Multiplayer experience aimed at nurturing deep connections that favours IMAGINATION over IMAGE as a catalyst of an embodied encounter between two perfect strangers in virtual reality.
Long synopsis:
To ROAM means to walk or travel around an area without any definite aim or direction. Romance, beyond the obvious romantic connotation, indicates two things: an adventure, and a dreamy, imaginative habit of the mind. Combining the two, we invite you to indulge in ROAMance – a shared act of wandering around in a lucid dream-like state letting extraordinary things happen along the way. ROAMance is a Multiplayer VR experience combining the powerful sensation of embodying a character in VR with the thrill of meeting a perfect stranger. Combining the reflection on social, and physical distances we keep, with an emphasis on world-building, and social interactions, it aims to facilitate an engaging, open, and unbiased encounter with another human being. lt is designed to celebrate the time spent together and encourage attentiveness by setting you up on an eventful journey in Virtual Reality shared with a perfect stranger whose physical features you will have to devise based on your interactions alone. ROAMance is an exercise in nurturing deep connections that favours IMAGINATION over the IMAGE as a catalyst of encounters with Others.
