XR for Large-Scale Live Events: A TED2022 Case Study
Particle Ink: Speed of Dark is an immersive mixed reality experience that combines street art, live performances, and XR technology.
Conceived by creatives from Cirque du Soleil, it transports the viewer into a living graphic novel using the Unity real-time 3D development platform with a mix of projection mapping, AR on more than 1,400 mobile devices, and live broadcast.
In this session, the team breaks down the tech behind Kaleidoco’s reveal of the Particle Ink world at the TED2022 opening show, and discusses the future of live XR. Exploring the live event challenges, they investigate how ICVR interpreted the show and ported the magic of the immersive event to Unity’s platform for users to experience on their mobile devices.
