Wie sich BEING GREGOR anfühlt, durfte @stefaniewermeling herausfinden. Sie durfte ihre Bewegungen in ein VR-Erlebnis einfließen lassen und gleich mehreren Rollen lebhafte Bewegungen verleihen💃🏼 Bei @invr.space fand der Motion Capture Dreh statt und wir durften mit dabei sein, um euch einen Behind The Scenes Einblick zu verschaffen. Habt ihr so einen Dreh schon mal miterleben dürfen und weiß jemand, worum es in BEING GREGOR gehen könnte? @stefaniewermeling wird von uns am Standort Berlin vertreten und auf unserer Website findet ihr unter ihrem Namen weitere Informationen🙌🏼 #motioncapture #vrgames

The VR experience RHIZOMAT by artist Mona el Gammal has been available in the Meta Store since 1 April. Produced by @invr.space in co-production with @arte.tv /@zdf.de and the Berliner Festspiele/Immersion, it is based on the Narrative Space of the same name, which was realised by the Berliner Festspiele in 2016. With “RHIZOMAT”, scenographer Mona el Gammal, born in 1986, continued her work “HAUS//NUMMER/NULL” (Stückemarkt at the 2014 #Theatertreffen) and delved deeper into the future world outlined therein. In an unknown location, visitors enter a parallel world in which the “Rhizomat” works from the underground against the overwhelming power of the monopolising, all-surveilling “Institute for Method”. Between dystopia and utopia, between obedience and freedom, the visitor experiences the spaces alone and encounters the characters only in their absence. RHIZOMAT Link in Bio ___ Photo: @invr.space

#UrbanImmersion Workshop #3 done 🦾We had an incredible session full of passion and innovation, led by Christina @xaosprincess Kinne Here’s a glimpse of what we explored: 🤖 A deep dive into creating a social and friendly #chatbot that acts as both a bartender and a life coach. 🔎 A historical look at chatbots, from #ELIZA, the first chatbot ever, to the cutting-edge capabilities of #GPT-3. 🤯 Insightful discussions on the #Uncanny Valley effect and different strategies to overcome it. 🧠 Technical and ethical implications to consider when creating an AI-powered chatbot for social VR. 🎨 Conducive immersive design approaches for AI #NPCs and virtual environments. 💗 How #social VR can keep you sane in times of isolation. The session sparked endless questions about building our own chatbots, with the key question being: When can we start building one ourselves? Thank you Christina - this workshop left us inspired and eager to explore the possibilities of chatbots in social VR.

Workshop #2 Recap: AI and Archiving with Cecilia Maas & Iris Rajanayagam. This session brought together an interdisciplinary group of #cultural managers, #artists, writers, urban planners, #XR product #designers, video artists, and other professionals from various fields. We explored the role of AI in preserving cultural #heritage, with an emphasis on data organization, #accessibility, #inclusion, and truthfulness. 🌟 Our highlights: 🦾 Iris’ insightful talk on marginalized histories and the power of archives. 🦾 Cecilia’s deep dive into neural networks, training #LLMs, and AI embedding. 🦾 We formed a neural network to categorize historical archival data ourselves, becoming the engine of an #AI 🧠 Key takeaway? While AI helps categorize data, human knowledge remains essential. We discussed the potential and risks of AI, especially with regard to #biases in historical archiving.  The two hours were intense - and fun! Let’s continue to explore archiving, especially with AI, shall we? #URBANIMMERSION #AI #CulturalHeritage #Inclusion #Accessibility #Innovation #ArtAndTech #NeuralNetworks #Archiving #History #KI #Geschichte “URBAN IMMERSION – Gesellschaft, Kunst und Geschichte neu erlebt” was awarded a prize by the Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe as part of the “Innovative Formate 2024” competition. @senwienbe
