A New Dreamer Splashes Down in SLU

Painted in a geometric patchwork of black and peach—with one striking red eyebrow—the 14-by-18-by-8-foot figure lolls on her stomach, accompanied by two finned friends. “Fishing, wishing,” a poetry-minded passerby might posit. The real title is “Dreamer,” but I doubt Warashina would mind the poetic fishing license. Part of what’s wonderful about the new piece is that it seems so out of place — so curvy and calm — within the rectilinear tech mecca of the neighborhood.

Sandbox VR's Full-Body Gaming Venue in SLU

The location features four private rooms, called “holodecks,” for VR gameplay. Each holodeck enables groups of up to six players to have a shared experience, exploring virtual worlds and relying on each other to succeed in games designed to be social experiences. Players are equipped with a VR headset, a haptic vest, a backpack, and motion sensors on their wrists and ankles.
