With such positive reception at last year’s #AWE, we look forward to sharing advancements and new modes to give players new moves.
It’s the 16th AWE: XR is going mainstream. And so is immersive, virtual partner dance.

Our first character Vironica is modeled from her namesake, Veronica Lyn Esque. Veronica was the first person to help with the project! She provided the first suit we used - including lending some #mocap dance herself!

Last Friday we released a super-duper sneak peek of the TRIP THE LIGHT prototype demo to our Kickstarter backers!
Many people have playtested it at conferences around the world last year, but we haven’t sent it out like this before. We’re excited for our Backers to give it a try!

Meet Sabin, our senior engineer crafting systems for realistic gameplay—precise procedural methods to enable natural interactions with our virtual dancers.
He’s not just here for the math! He's all about using that tech to spread the joy of dance.

As the story goes, Emma Goldman was taken aside and was told it did not “behoove” her to dance with such reckless abandon. While this may not be a direct quote, this is her clear sentiment to make joy a priority through times of change.
