To offer insight into the development of this groundbreaking project, XR director Jana Günther and animation director Moritz Mayerhofer will present the key creative and technical processes. They will explore the challenges and innovations behind the project—including advancements in robotics and spatial audio, as well as the creation of 82 minutes of computer-generated animation. Their talk will also highlight the contributions of composer Gerriet K. Sharma, sound experts Ana Monte and Daniel Deboy of DELTA Soundworks, and roboticist Amir Bastani of Creative Robotics.
