Showcasing Immersive Experiences in the UK and China
A 2 hour multi- masterclass showcasing four innovative immersive experiences located in the UK and China. In this webinar the creators of these immersive projects share their insights into getting these large-scale innovative experiences off the ground.
The StoryFutures China project will prototype immersive, cultural experiences for The National Gallery and Shanghai Museum of Science & Technology that can measurably enhance visitor experience. The project will produce two immersive experiences, one in each institution, that share the same theme of ‘art in science / science in art’. This unified theme will then create opportunities for transnational exchange by enabling each institution and country to export an immersive experience to the other.
