Tingbao: A musical Immersive Experience Inspired by Environmental Themes

Published: 14 October 2024 Publication History

Abstract

Tingbao is an ongoing exploratory collaboration, which fostered multiple artistic synergies, between the authors; Dreamsailors Collective: consisting of Richard Navarro, Paul Cheneour and Cass XuXin; the illustrator Greg Stobbs, and several other artists, technologists, and musicians. Our work combines music, visual art, and technology to tell a tale about the natural world’s magic and vulnerability through diverse interactive outputs. At the CHI Play interactivity track, we are excited to showcase the VR prototype, one of the outcomes of the collaboration, teleporting the audience into the world of the artists and the music in an immersive and interactive way. We hope to create a space that encourages playful exploration and discovery of Tingbao’s world.
