Text + Terrain is a toolkit for exploring juxtapositions of words and virtual landscapes, developed for the Unity game engine. The prototype footage below sets text from a historical brochure for the community of Valencia, California, along with other infrastructure-related words, against a virtual version of the city’s actual terrain — the land the brochure was charged with monetizing.
Text + Terrain was used by students at USC to create "The Path Ahead," a VR experience that challenges players to make choices affecting the future built and natural environment of Southern California.
