This year, we also brought stories to life through interactive games and sketchbooks, explainer graphics, data visualizations, and immersive animations.
Many of the processes which yield Sculpture's psychedelic, freeform electronic music and dizzyingly immersive animations pass back and forth between tactile and virtual methods.
Using the flat surfaces of the stage floor and back wall, they manage to create dynamic, immersive animations that look just as thrilling as a building coming to life.
The latest iteration of Hermaton, which we previously covered a few years ago, transforms the contemporary art attractions at the inaugural SHINE festival in s-Hertogenbosch, Hieronymus Bosch's Dutch birthplace into immersive virtual animations.
Participants were mostly from the campus community and some were given instructions on a desktop computer in the corner of the room with a pdf drawing, some on a tablet with an adjustable arm, but also with a static pdf, and finally some used an AR system with 3D immersive instructions with animations.
We've seen MLF evolve from animation to immersive installation, and now they're focusing on banging out innovative and thoughtful VR experiences, like one of the first 360° animated music videos and a mixed reality dining experience.
Music makes your animation more immersive, and can make a good animation into an incredible one.
Using upstage and downstage screens, the animations created an immersive experience of motion and depth, challenging the audience to engage the visuals in service of the narrative.
The animation is so tactile, immersive and detailed that you may find yourself, especially if you see the movie in 3D, reaching to stroke Sulley's silken fur.
