Hacking Your Senses

New Frontier Gateway
136 Heber Ave.
Saturday, January 23, noon–1:30 p.m.

Immersive technologies like virtual reality are aimed at creating experiences that are meant to feel real. Our brains trick our bodies into feeling as if we’re in another place, experiencing something that is in fact an illusion. As experiences become more lifelike, we also begin to learn more about the human condition and how our bodies and emotions respond to specific stimuli. How does VR make us feel more empathy, fear, delight, and adventure? How do we blur the lines of reality, and what are the implications? Learn from experts Aaron Koblin (co-founder and CTO, Vrse), Mike Woods (co-founder and CCO, White Rabbit VR), Dražen Bošnjak (founder and composer, Q Department and Mach 1), Paul Raphaël (co-founder, Felix & Paul Studios), and Caecilia Charbonnier (co-founder, Artanim) in a discussion moderated by Charles Melcher (founder, Future of Storytelling).

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
