We translated our performances into augmented reality (AR) experiences, developing new software tools and working with scientists and therapists. Using ritual design as a framework, these series of ritual performances promote embodiment, interconnectedness and connection to the self. The characters are representing light and shadow archetypes, exploring the collective unconscious and dream-like states. The AR real-time visuals represent natural elements and respond to the performer’s movement and the colours in the scene.

We created an open source and low-cost 360 recording and tracking system that digitises a live performance scene in real-time. The digitised scene allows us to integrate virtual elements and effects within the video, opening new possibilities for mixed reality real-time public interaction. We wove together interconnected realities to offer innovative ways of telling our story and experiencing performances.
