Inhabitat: An Imaginary Ecosystem in a Children's Science Museum.

Inhabitat is a mixed-reality artwork in which participants become part of an imaginary ecology through three simultaneous perspectives of scale and agency; three distinct ways to see with other eyes. This imaginary world was exhibited at a children's science museum for five months, using an interactive projection-augmented sculpture, a large screen and speaker array, and a virtual reality head-mounted display. This paper documents the work's motivations and design contributions, along with accounts of visitors' playful engagements and reflections within the complex interconnectivity of an artificial nature.
