VR_I

Maison MINATEC, 1st floor

VR_I is a contemporary dance performance in immersive virtual reality with the aim of questioning our perception of reality. Thanks to the Immersive Virtual Reality technology developed by their partner, Artanim, a total virtual space will be created. Visitors, wearing a virtual reality helmet, will be able to progress at the same rhythm as the virtual dancers. The aim is to create a 100% virtual play in which spectators are totally immersed in a virtual world. Visitors will discover a demonstration of an on going project.
