Why

Overall aim for the project:

To create a human-centered and ethically developed digital and industrial Mixed Reality solution with the focus on art and music.

Realistic, immersive experience by literally bringing an event home (or elsewhere) and blending it into the environment via 3D audio-visual modelling.

Utilizing the additional value of Mix Reality by providing additional dimensions to the experience via visualization and auralisation.

Shared experiences with friends and family, using realistic full body avatars, getting the sense of them being there with you.
