🎮Digital Embodiment & Intimacy - Virtual Reality & Motion Capture Workshop🪩

Opening with a screening of the sci-fi short film VERSE to spark reflection on the future of our digital flesh, this immersive workshop explores how we define intimacy, personal boundaries, and consent when our physical bodies transform into data.

Following the film, participants will dive into hands-on mixed reality experiments, testing "phantom touch" and interpersonal distance within a VRChat social lab.

We will also investigate the power dynamics of the gaze through "The Invisible Mirror"—an asymmetric interactive experience powered by Optitrack and Unreal Engine 5.

Join us for a profound dialogue that challenges how we navigate spatial safety and reshapes our understanding of what it means to be truly present in the digital world.
