Supported by the AHRC, within their ‘Ideas that address Covid19’ fund, and by Goldsmiths ‘Future of Media’ research theme, this immersive showcase shows three remote performers dancing in real-time using the mocap streamer within a colourful virtual landscape, with avatars made of geometric shapes, lights and particles.

The second half of this showcase includes Q&A’s with Dan Strutt, Neal and Clemence about the creative and technical development of this tool and the assets created for the showcase.
