It was one of the fantastic collaboration with the crew to work with Rachel Ara, an artist in residence for the V&A Research Institute (VARI). Informed by her research into the Museum’s collections, systems and data, Ara created a site-specific mixed-reality work which explored the hidden stories behind the Santa Chiara Chapel in our Medieval and Renaissance Galleries.

We used the HoloPortal from DoubleMe in South Korea to capture the Nuns and update it to play able onto the Microsoft HoloLens. Afterwards, we develop it into a mixed reality experience for the audience to explore the Santa Chiara Chapel with holographic Nuns walking around.
