A mystical scene loads on the screen. A world of wonder and limitless possibilities. Now imagine your avatar is your body and you find yourself in a physical space. Are you ready to explore all corners of the world of Lateria?
Inspired by role-playing games, Groovido takes you on a journey walking the line between the physical and digital world.
Welcome to Prophecies of Dust!
Our online environment is in constant change. Yet, the same goes for our built environment. Rodruza, a large brick manufacturer, invited Groovido to explore their new innovation: a technique that forever changes the aesthetics of the brick as we know it. From architecture to interior design, Groovido redesigns the rich heritage of a brick. Groovido and Rodruza celebrate the lightness, liveliness, and personality of the future brick.
To enhance the visitors’ experience, Groovido teamed up with musician Richard van Kruysdijk to create a soundtrack for the game space. He composed an ever-changing quadraphonic sound installation for Prophecies of Dust.
