About The Viriditas Chapel of Perpetual Adoration

The Viriditas Chapel of Perpetual Adoration is a virtual reality inspired by visions and music of Saint Hildegard von Bingen, a 14th century abbess and Doctor of the Catholic Church. It is situated in the northern apsidal chapel of Cathedral-in-the-Clouds, an ongoing collection of digital dioramas for contemplation.

When the player kneels down to pray, an audio-visual spectacle unfolds, expressing the beauty of creation and the love of God. Only to end in silent contemplation of the Most Holy Eucharist. What was visible and audible before has now been internalized in your heart, aflame in adoration, awe and endless gratitude.

Hildegard Von Bingen


Hildegard von Bingen was an 12th century abbess in the valley of the Rhine in present day Germany. She was a mystic, a scientist, a composer and a writer. In 2012 she was declared Doctor of the Church, among luminaries such as Theresa of Avila, Thomas Aquinas and Augustine of Hippo. Viriditas is a guiding concept in her thinking. It expresses the vital power of nature, specifically of plants. Within this context, she imagined Jesus Christ to be a flower that blooms on the branch that is the Holy Virgin. It is this idea, combined with her vision of the cosmos in an eternal embrace of the divine, that inspired the Viriditas Chapel.

O greenest branch whose breath inspires the wonder of saints. Hail!
When you bloom in your branches the heat of the sun flows from you like ointment.
In you a beautiful flower blossomed whose fragrance awakened all that was withered.
And all emerged in full vigor!


Design



The structure of The Viriditas Chapel of Perpetual Adoration is based on Hildegard’s visions of the cosmos. In these she would see a geocentric universe embraced by the love of God and animated by the winds of faith and trust. In the Viriditas Chapel this embrace is performed by the Holy Virgin. We find the sphere of fire in the two outer columns and the sphere of water in the inner columns. The central altar piece represents the earth.

In another vision, as expressed in multiple poems, Hildegard saw Jesus as a flower on the branch that is the virgin Mary, His mother. This is a variation on the more conventional notion of Jesus being the fruit of her womb. Here both images are combined. The altar bulges slightly forward to represent to belly of the virgin in which the son of God grows. In the opening of what started as a dark niche, ornamental leaves appear in ever greater numbers. This to illustrate what Hildegard referred to as viridity, or the abundant greening power of life on earth. Within that green oasis, a magical flower blooms, the heart of creation, the promise of redemption, love itself.

[h1]Experienced on the Meta Quest 2[/h1] You can view my review & gameplay here: https://youtu.be/h2ucQ6cdzwg This is a religious experience that is made for VR. It's definitely not for everyone. I'm not a religious person at all, but my interest in PCVR had me interested in what this was exactly. First of all, this is a very short experience. It takes roughly about 7 minutes. Although, I guess you can pray longer & make the gameplay last as long as you want. In any event, this is very much a premium experience. Also, it should be obvious, but there is no gameplay here. This is a simulated religious experience through the magic of VR. You don't really use motion controllers, I only used them to make sure I was centered in the play space area for the game. You basically bow to move forward. When you reach the altar, you kneel. Once you are kneeled, you look up and down to progress the experience. It's a good experience. However, it is poorly optimized. On my RTX 3080, I was getting variable frame rates from 45 to 60 fps once I knelt down on my knees. Also, I recommend you put a pillow or something comfortable for you to kneel down. I wish I had done that! Anyways, I thought i…

A short but fascinating VR experience with simple controls. Unlike anything you've probably seen before. Turn around at the start to see the instructions, otherwise you'll be fumbling around for a long time.

this is not a game, this is a VR experience. thank you and bless you to the person who said you have to turn around to see the instructions because i was well and truly lost. i'm not religious but i love the aesthetic, so getting to experience this in VR is pretty special.
