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.

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.
