Description
Alex is the mainstream realisation of step-changing augmented reality technology hybridised with live performance - synchronously animated holograms performing alongside live actors. Alex fuses traditional theatre practice with augmented reality techniques invented specifically for the performance. Based on research undertaken by digital performance experts at the Queensland University of Technology, in collaboration with IKONIX immersive experiences and supported by The Creative Sparks Fund, the Dr Don Bachelor Award and the Queensland University of Technology’s Design Lab, the play explores issues of identity and aims to promote positive social change amongst audiences.
