Abstract

"Bodyreath"is an interactive virtual reality (VR) installation for understanding people with autism, which is divided into two parts, "external"and "internal". The "external"is the external projection, which is the artistic effect of four virtual avatars based on the characters and behaviors of autistic people. The "internal"is the interactive VR scenarios, allowing the audience to gain insight into the characteristics of the autistic people represented in each feature: "Stereotyped Behavior", "Children from the Stars", "Emotional Instability", and "Invisibility". Our VR installation provides an interactive narrative through body interaction and role perception, allowing the audience to transform their identity into an autistic person and perceive it from their perspective. It helps the audience to appreciate the innocence of autistic people in a different way and to understand them artistically.
