Splatroit is an immersive virtual reality game that intertwines Detroit\'s iconic techno music with its cityscape. The heart of this VR experience lies in the interactive Monument to Joe Louis, \'The Fist.\' As players engage with the pulsating techno rhythms, they dynamically color this emblematic landmark, creating a visual spectacle synchronized with the soundtrack. Splatroit embodies Detroit\'s spirit, allowing players to interact with its music and art.

The fundamental premise of the project is based on the therapeutic potential of laughter. It has been widely accepted that laughing often can enhance lifespan and overall health by alleviating stress, amplifying the immune system, easing pain, and spreading happiness to those around us. Laughter, a contagious phenomenon, fosters positive emotions and a sense of community. This project explores whether artificially generated laughter could create a contagion effect, just as natural laughter does.
