A downloadable VR experience for Windows

Dis_place

Dis_place is an innovative, immersive VR dance experience created by Displace Studio - digital dance artist Kerryn Wise and creative technologist Ben Neal.

Originally made as part of a live performance at the People’s Hall in Nottingham, a Georgian building with a rich history, Dis_place is a response to the site - highlighting the memories and histories revealed by the decaying building's features.

Displace Studio

Exploring the intersection of dance, film, physical theatre and digital technology, Displace produce bold, boundary-pushing work that dances between the darkness and the light - reality and fantasy - creating deep, interpersonal, immersive experiences that encourage audiences to step into, behind, and around the edges of illusion.

Works often take the form of intimate, dreamlike journeys through uncertain places rich in symbolism and metaphor in which curious behaviours are encountered.

The technology is evidently not perfect, but in my opinion it just adds to the charm. I liked this experience, though the introductory video was a little confusing (It appeared behind me and I only saw black until I realized)
