UNWANTED WATERS

Unwanted Waters is a series of prototypes exploring live motion capture in webXR across several remote locations.

In this one-of-a-kind performance, remote audiences and dancers can coexist in the virtual environment. Using custom-made technology, a mocap suit and a VR headset, remote dancers can animate fully rigged virtual characters in real time and interact with the audience. The environment uses a browser-based social VR platform (Mozilla Hubs), allowing audiences to participate from remote locations - or in-person - from their phone, laptop and VR headsets.

Inspired by the old myth of Rusalka, Unwanted Waters is a tale about marginalised individuals who have suffered from harassment, brutality and exclusion.
