Agile Mobilities is an artistic research project investigating Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality applications for mobility, balance, creativity and connecting with the joy of dancing.
The researchers are looking for volunteers to test the usability of the VR experience as a tool for performance and for rehabilitation. You can help! By testing the VR experience (wearing a VR headset) and giving your feedback. The aim is for the application to be adaptable to a range of sensory preferences and abilities to extend sensory experiences through mobility and creativity.
Featuring choreography by Sarah Neville, composition by Matthew Thomas, visual design by KAB101 and Alex Degaris. Agile is co-designed by acquired brain injury advocate and performer Eva Sifis and physiotherapist, educator and digital health researcher Belinda Lange.
