The co-creative VR planning tool HiveMind is intended to enable future users of spaces to participate in their planning. Up to now, this has only been possible to a very limited extent with conventional architectural plans, as the necessary understanding of the plans is often lacking. With the help of the HiveMind tool, however, nursing staff and doctors can help shape their direct working environment in VR and adapt plans so that the rooms optimally support their work. This feedback is visualised in a 3D space based on the principles of Healing Architecture and can also be experienced in VR. The project was developed in cooperation with the Swiss Centre for Design and Health.
