Bahay na Bato aims to showcase the authentic look and feel of localized Asian digital assets for virtual production, providing a unique and immersive experience in the realm of virtual storytelling.
The TAP Art generator is a web-based interface/co-creation portal created in collaboration with lead agency Ppurpose for Growing Home, an initiative by the National Arts Council of Singapore to create greater awareness of art in the daily lives of Singaporeans. Visitors were able to co-create unique digital artwork with local artists. Emerse also worked on the overall exhibition designs for both - The Arts House and One Punggol. - With Ppurpose
Created in collaboration with Studio K to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Kumari Nahappan's iconic saga seed artwork series, "#abundance #1, #2, #3" takes the idea and the form into a new, more expressive digital future.
Accelerated Intimacy is an interactive digital recreation of Sarah Choo's seminal show of the same name, and the game engine based version of the experience allows visitors to immerse themselves within the liminal nature of the artwork with ominous music and conversations soundtracking your journey. - With Sarah Choo Jing and Yeo Workshop

Bahay na Bato is a digital asset that sets out to demonstrate the look and feel of localised assets because it is rare to see ones that are immersive. Bahay na Bato shows that the creation of virtual environments is possible through storytelling in game creation to develop an asset.
