Dis_place was a one-on-one immersive dance performance in The People's Hall, Nottingham. Visitors wore bone-conducting headphones which played sound over a distributed Bluetooth network as they were lead around a disused building. In each room they encountered live performers and 360 VR videos. One room of the building was recorded using volumetric capture (Depthkit with Kinect Camera) and recreated in VR using Unity complete with ghostly dancers.

This VR demo was created with Motionhouse at De Montfort University to trial volumetric capture and VR. Scenery provided by Motionhouse was transformed into a Virtual Reality city around which users can navigate. Dance performances were captured using the Azure Kinect depth camera to create 3D volumetric performers. As people explore the city performers are triggered along with other surreal encounters inside and around the empty buildings.

Mood Pinball is an artwork in the form of a pinball game. Made with artists Edie Jo Murray and Harmeet Chagger-Khan, Mood Pinball allows players to expose city-wide noise data by visiting different locations at different times of day. Your mood can rise or fall based on noise levels, and the aim is to stay happy. A full size physical pinball machine was constructed with arcade buttons and ball shooter, and you can play on your phone as an Android mobile app, or in the browser.
