BRIEF
As a Digital innovation specialist brought in for this exciting live performance project, the challenge was to integrate cutting-edge Extended Reality (XR) technology into the world of theater.
The aim was to create a truly immersive audience experience, where virtual and physical realms seamlessly blend together, offering a novel perspective on live performances.

Using Realtime motion capture, we developed captivating visuals and animations through Unity and Unreal game engines, capturing the performers' movements and creating an immersive digital experience, adding an additional layer of depth to the performance
My expertise as an XR specialist ensured that the ambitious tech integration was both artistically and technically feasible, allowing us to create a seamless blend of reality and virtuality.

The successful amalgamation of XR technology with live performance led to an unforgettable experience for our audience. Feedback from attendees confirmed that they were fully engaged in the sensory journey we had crafted.

Our project resonated with the audience, as they described the intense emotions they felt during the overload sections and the subsequent sense of calm during the serene moments.
