From CWRU’s The Daily:

“One of the larger productions the department has presented in the past 24 years, Voyages features Professor of Dance Gary Galbraith’s new technology-infused Quest… Galbraith created and choreographed Quest in collaboration with colleagues across the university and with support from an Expanding Horizons Initiative grant through the College of Arts and Sciences.

The dance includes the use of Microsoft HoloLens technology, LD LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and an original music score in true surround-sound—and it’s the first dance of its kind to integrate all these technologies.

“Quest is the current generation of art and technology in the form of extended reality dance theater and immersive audience experience,” Galbraith explained. “By use of holograms and 3D LiDAR, audience members are taken into an underground world yet clearly remain in the theater.”
