We all have images in our heads. When we imagine something specific, we see the corresponding image in front of our inner eye. The interesting thing - for everyone this inner picture looks a little different, even if we imagine the same thing. *Zwei malen Eins* is a VR application for two people, where the aim is to communicate about one's individual inner images. Together, words are being interpreted and ultimately a common picture is created. Two users meet in virtual space. They take turns drawing - in front of themselves, around themselves and about themselves. They have to discuss and work together, because they only have a limited amount of time for the joint visualization of their combined inner images. Once they reach the end, a gallery awaits them. A collection of previous interpretations of the same term allows for drawing comparisons, recognizing patterns, and reflecting on themselves. Beyond the fun gaming aspect of the application, "Zwei malen Eins" is also intended to encourage the participants to address more profound topics and to compare their views with those of their counterparts.
