HiveMind Interactive co-creation and visualisation of a patient room

Well-designed hospital rooms can make a significant contribution to the healing process, but at the same time they must fulfil functional requirements. The project proposes an interactive tool that can be used to co-creatively design hospital rooms according to the principles of healing architecture.

The co-creative virtual reality planning tool HiveMind is designed to enable future users of spaces to participate in the planning process. 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 working environment in virtual reality and adapt plans so that the rooms optimally support them in their work. This feedback is visualised in a 3D room based on the principles of Healing Architecture and can also be experienced in virtual reality. The project was developed in cooperation with the Swiss Centre for Design and Health.
