Project development for Virtuelle Mauer / ReConstructing the Wall consists of the following stages:

• Research
  On the basis of extensive research we have chosen one of our original three sites along the Wall for further development as our "virtual stage set." (See the "Site" link for more information on each location.) For the chosen site we collected information on the structural phases of the Wall, on the specific urban development at this site and on the events that transpired here during the time of the Wall.
  
  
• Dramatic Concept
  For our chosen site we are developing dramatic scenarios that enable users to interactively experience events that transpired here during and after the time of the Wall as dramaturgical consequences of their own actions.
  
  
• Hyper-Storyboard
  The hyper-storyboard will define the interactivity in and relationships between scenes of the dramatic concept.
  
  
• Virtual Reality Production
  Production of the artwork consists of steps such as 3D modeling of the virtual world and its objects, scripting of user interactions with the environment, sound design (music and sound effects,) etc.
  
  
• Example: Virtual Reality Artwork "Beyond Manzanar"
  As this kind of artwork is still relatively unknown, we describe here a previous artwork done by Tamiko Thiel as an example of the unique characteristics of the 3D interaction medium.
