Tangible Utopias is a groundbreaking VR franchise immersing the viewer as a first-person into an Odyssey of potential future city scenarios, inspired by the imagination of children worldwide.

The project is a continuation of the transmedia universe entitled Government of Children – a civic imagination-driven transmedia world (3D film, VR, web), that encourages children from all over the world to see themselves as leadersand to design their societal future.

We have gathered hundreds of visions that will selectively serve as a script for the current VR universe.

Tangible Utopias aims to design alternative multi-layered futuristic societies.

The current NOE-FI world is part of an ongoing transmedia franchise.

Supported by the Immersive Creators Catalyst by WIIT and Meta.

What if buildings could absorb rain water and process it into drinkable water? What if in this way we could live in places that otherwise would feel unaccessible?

What if our walls would be flexible? And what if our homes could feel the wind, the sun, the rain, depending on how enjoyable they are?

Triangle City emerged from the visions of multiple visionary kids pleading for mobile homes, modular habitats and highly colorful cityscapes.

Rounded-shaped statement buildings were inspired by the vision of a girl at first. We kept on adding layers from many other children: mobile habitats, pools, environments filled with both elevated nature and tech.

What if we could live in some kind of slides? Inspired by the stunning slides and tubes in amusement parks proposed by Julia , Tube City is a state of the art statement of architecture and playful lifestyle.

What if we could inhabit in the future a very very very very cool funicular?
One of the visionary kids asked.

What if we could combine and elevate what we love from our current world:
skyscrapers and nature?
