Unwanted Waters - Full-mocap dance installation in webXR [Talk + Q&A]

Unwired Dance Theatre makes immersive and playable experiences at the intersection of dance and technology. From networked wearables to XR, our work questions our sense of empathy, especially when mediated through technology, and often explores what remote connection could look like.
