Extended Reality | SAFE Street Art Festival

Collaborating with Dave Stitch, I created an XR piece for the Safe Street Art Festival in Olomouc, CZ. DENISOVA which is available to experience in AR and VR.

Extended Reality | Safe Street Art Festival

An XR piece developed for Safe Street Art Festival in Olomouc, 2021, available in both AR and VR. Collaborating with Dave Stitch, the audio composition was informed by a virtual visit to Denisova square, with the audio driving the visual output.

Augmented Reality: Designed with a futuristic feel while retaining traditional Eastern European heritage. The AR component presents ghostly apparitions that appear and disappear throughout the city, discoverable via the Scavangar AR app as located audiovisual sculptures.

Audio: Dave Stitch
Visuals: Andy Harper
Tools: Gravity Sketch, Adobe Immersive Environment, Spoke/Hubs
Festival: Safe Street Art Festival, Olomouc, CZ, 2021

Virtual Reality

The VR component presents an abstract version of Denisova square in Olomouc, offering a dystopian glimpse of an unknown future. This virtual sonic experience features ambisonic sounds and equirectangular video.

Building on learnings from our previous Mixed Reality project Cubing the Sphere - this iteration required asynchronous beats for audio immersion. Each composition is rendered as equirectangular 360-degree videos, allowing full public immersion within the visual environment.

DENISOVA VOID | Virtual Reality Experience

DENISOVA VOID features 5 asynchronous audiovisual stems that utilise spatial audio. Proximity to an audiovisual stem adjusts audio levels and pan, allowing viewers to create unique soundscapes and interact with the composition in ways previously unimaginable using traditional 2D paradigms.

Available in VR for full immersion, with browser support for computer/iPad viewing (though spatial audio functionality is limited). Individual audiovisual stems are presented below as standalone pieces.
