Toasterlab Mixed Reality Performance Atelier
VR Exhibition of work created in Toasterlab's Mixed Reality Performance Atelier project
The Toasterlab Mixed Reality Atelier was a two year exploration into the intersection of mixed reality technologies and live performance. Toasterlab “boosted” 16+ live performance projects by providing equipment, expertise, and consultation to partnering productions to see what would happen when virtual and augmented reality, motion capture, live streaming, geolocation were integrated into theatre and dance presentations. This workshop/exhibition shares these projects, how they were accomplished, what was created, and how you can get started in the most appropriate format we know how: an immersive exhibition in the social VR platform Hubs. For this special exhibit launch, you are invited to join a tour led by the Toasterlab team to explore the projects and get your questions answered about the related VR content! The Hubs Room, a dedicated virtual world that is browser-based and requires no special equipment, will remain open to come back to and visit from June 5th onwards. Focused on more accessible and cost-effective technology, this session is a great way to enter the matrix for the artist without Oculus funding. But, whether you are entering VR for the first time, or if you’re a Dactyl Nightmare champion, this session is geared towards expanding your thinking about performance and extended reality.
Audience Role
The audience is invited to join a tour, interact with each other, or explore the exhibition at their own pace.
