Virtual Virtual Reality 2

When a metaverse shuts down, what happens to the avatars left behind?

In this darkly funny action adventure game, pilot your mech body through the chaos of a dying metaverse, rescuing abandoned avatars along the way. Each new avatar-roommate brings unique tools to aid your escape back to meatspace!

Do you have what it takes to overcome the digital destruction and interpersonal drama before you’re logged off for good?

Project AR-ia: Mozart's The Magic Flute

Early in 2018 Google’s Creative Lab approached Opera Queensland and invited them to explore what might be possible if Augmented Reality (AR) were to become part of the process of staging an opera. The driving artistic question of the project would be: what would happen if we could step outside the traditional setting for opera and render an operatic performance in a user’s home? Could we make live performance more accessible – by offering everyone a front row seat – and at the same time allow a user to feel a deeper connection to the music and the performers?
