XR Workshops
– Workshops on tech-driven performances in virtual and augmented environments
XR, Metahuman, Digital Body, Motion Tracking, Inclusive Design, Mixed Performance, Live Actions
The XR Workshops, led by Eternal Engine, are designed for individuals interested in integrating XR technologies into performative practices, as well as performers who want to learn the fundamentals of programming live actions with XR tools. Participants will gain hands-on experience in creating and animating Metahumans in Unreal Engine, learning key skills such as avatar customization, facial animation using Live Link, and body movement capture with Deep Motion. The workshops offer a foundational understanding of how to incorporate XR technologies into live performance, empowering performers to independently create tech-driven performances in virtual and augmented environments.
Participants will be selected through an open call and informed on the 25th of November by email.
