Tiger Tian | The Groovehouse: A Virtual Reality Dance Club

 
Dance is a form of self-expression free from the limitations of language that connects your body directly to your soul, and music is the host of this ritual. The instinct to dance is right there in your body. It’s natural, it’s primal, and it shouldn’t be repressed. But too often, people are scared of what others might think and let shame get in the way. What we need is an inclusive space, where self-consciousness is thrown out the window. No judgment, just music.

The Groovehouse is created precisely for that purpose. It’s a 4-minute virtual reality dance club experience inspired by 1970s disco music. Once you put on the VR headset, whatever place you’re at right now is instantly turned into a dance floor. The world suddenly stops spinning, but the disco ball won’t. The spotlights keep shining and flashing like nothing else matters. The juicy bassline flows smoothly in the air, and the stomping drumbeat fills the room with throbbing rhythms. In the dark of the room are ones just like you, looking to release their stress and grooving non-stop to the music. You might be physically alone, but your inner dance floor will always keep you company.
