Tableau Vivant
Events ∙ Travel & ExplorationInspired by Victorian paper peepshows, often thought to be early iterations of VR, and drawing on the history of the Tableau Vivant, Displace Studio alongside Loughborough University students have created a snapshot in time - a living picture - that uses modern technologies such as Volumetric Capture and 3D Scanning to digitise the student performers and capture University locations to create a Virtual Reality Tableau.
Abstract and everyday choreographies invoke the nostalgia of passing time as students go through university life. With an atmospheric soundtrack and cinematic style, audiences traverse several scenes representing emotional states such as anxiety, challenge, growth, transformation and success as they travel towards a final event that questions the transience of people, and the permanence of place.

Beautiful, Artistic, and Free--Get It!
This is not a game, it is a passive experience viewed much like a theatrical production. The first time I tried it (on Quest 3) it crashed a few minutes in. I didn't bother revisiting it until a few days later and when I did it ran fine with no issue. It is a fairly avant-garde VR app produced and featuring university students. Attempting to describe it would be an exercise in futility--however, I found it very interesting. Watch the video on the store page to get an idea of what to expect--there's no dialogue, only performance and VR weirdness (which is a good thing). I didn't time the experience but I'm guessing it lasts about 15-20 minutes. Everybody involved did a lovely job. If you enjoy the arts and/or unique performance art then absolutely give this a try.
