SPEAK TO AWAKEN: EP.1 DIVING INTO SIRAYA is a speech-based interactive experimental VR documentary of Sirayan, a dormant indigenous language in Taiwan, which makes the audience gain the experience of using and thinking about the endangered language while immersing on its revitalization road.
This is a playthrough (live-recorded) video of a VR documentary Speak to Awaken: Ep.1 Diving into Siraya. The audience will generate a synchronicity with the experiencer at the time, and go through the time course. Reproduced via 2D video, the audience breaks through the time and space of the media and resonates with it, then becomes an extension of time images and experiences.

以VR互動的嶄新形式引導觀眾跟著說出西拉雅語的單字，強而有力告訴我們西拉雅語並未死去，信仰、祭儀也都還在，文化的保存和傳承並不是空談，一切都是進行式。
Thinking generated from listening and speaking is a process of language use. This film is about making the audience feel and summoning the existence of language, and meanwhile having the experience of thinking and usage. Such experiences not only make them approach Sirayan more, but also convey the film’s concept to people and understand the main idea of the film is the importance of “willing to use language” during language revitalization…. Listening, watching and occasional interactions enable you to move forward along this visualised road. Speaking Sirayan words and phrases allows you to weave between scenes along the Sirayan soundwave. Audio recordings of different languages float in the space, with soundwaves fluctuating according to the language of the scene the audience is witnessing.
