Char Davies' website

Highly recommended as an aid for the novice who knows little or nothing about immersive virtual art, as it is seen through a Headmounted Display, are the extra visual examples of Davies' immersive virtual 3D artwork that include short video clips of flythroughs of both Osmose and Ephémère. Here the reader will also find lists of exhibitions, publications by her and by others about her work, documentaries, and other important information related to the book.
