Pursuing immersive, digital realities

Single Thread XR explores the emerging medium of XR (augmented, virtual and mixed reality) as a means of telling immersive stories to a global audience, through research and development projects as well as PXR, Canada's annual conference on Live Performance in Extended Reality. 

What we do:

• Examine potential of XR and game-building tools for theatrical storytelling

• Lead discussions around best practices for creating live XR experiences

• Provide training for individuals to navigate XR spaces

• Adapt immersive experiences for SocialVR platforms

• Provide workshops in world-building, game development, and the application of immersive theatre principles in digital narratives

Collider (2021) was devised by a cast of actors across Canada through an entirely virtual process and explored virtual embodiment.
