Alt-AR is an innovative 50-minute performance that blends interactive media and immersive theatre in a unique and exciting way. Attendees can participate from anywhere – whether they’re in the same physical space, using virtual reality, or joining remotely from a computer. As they become aware of each other’s presence, participants collaborate to progress through the story.

With its innovative use of technology and collaborative gameplay, Alt-AR offers an immersive experience that pushes the boundaries of traditional theatre. It’s an exciting example of how creativity and technology can come together to create something truly unique and engaging.

Developed through a partnership between Folly Games and the Experimental Games Lab, Alt-AR is the result of a collaboration between talented game designers and academics. The project was supported by an Arts Queensland Digital Adaptation grant of $7,367, which enabled the team to bring their vision to life and premiere their new mixed reality performance at the 2021 Anywhere Festival.
