New project to develop mixed reality solutions in live performance contexts

A new two-year project, abbreviated VIMMA, will start at the Centre for Practise as Research T7. The VIMMA project develops and generates genuinely new user-centered concepts and production solutions for mixed reality, virtual and sensor-based performance in live productions – theatre, performance art, live broadcasting and new game concepts. In addition, the project develops related strategic user training for performers and designers.

The VIMMA project establishes an unprecedented, internationally networked and economically vital locus of digital economy in Finland, with an eye to the emergent role of mixed reality solutions in live performance contexts. In the project, T7 is responsible for coordination as well as various demonstration, education and reporting functions. Cooperation is widely carried out with theatre education, research, nationally and internationally active professional theatres, media/broadcasting companies and research institutions in arts and technology contexts. The project will be carried out in 2013-2014.
