JOSEPH NUGENT, USA, 2018
“Joycestick”, an academic project at Boston College led by Professor Joseph Nugent, pairs an immersive virtual reality 3D game with the most important (and difficult) novel of the twentieth century. Using the Vive headest, players are put into scenes from the novel, to move through the game. Subtitled “The Story of Ulysses in 100 Objects,” the player can touch certain objectsto trigger sounds, narration and other significant interactions with the characters of James Joyce’s notoriously difficult novel.
