YouSmash: A coding platform and immersive entertainment event to connect users to live, real-time environmental events unfolding on Earth

布里斯托是一个自然电影制作的全球中心。布里斯托2022年Wildscreen电影节（由MyWorld & Invest布里斯托+巴斯支持），被称为“自然世界讲故事的未来”，证明了有巨大的观众胃口和市场潜力的新技术为基础的遭遇与自然。机械是一个屡获殊荣的表演艺术公司在布里斯托，广受好评的卫报和新科学家，并在英国和9个国际国家巡回演出。我们创造体验，邀请观众与我们不断变化的星球进行迷人的接触。我们正在创新，打造一个新的数据编码平台。这有助于我们创造一种新的沉浸式技术体验，为人们提供与快速变化的地球建立迷人的新关系。用户在体验中的实时操作（例如将物品放置在传感器上）创建数据集，然后将其与来自我们不断变化的气候的实时数据（例如天气数据，采矿提取数据）相结合。这为独特的全新沉浸式体验创造了可能性，将人们与实时展现的气候变化的“活力”联系起来。我们建议在一个名为“YouSmash”的装置中测试这个平台-这是一种参与式体验，通过沉浸式投影增强空间（在博物馆，画廊，活动和节日）。它探索了可持续采矿和技术使用的未来。在YouSmash期间，用户将进入一个充满移动地图和图像投影的黑暗房间。他们将被邀请开玩笑地（和安全地）探索许多金属内不需要的技术，如笔记本电脑和移动的手机。将它们放置在不同的传感器托盘上会创建不同的数据集，然后将其与采矿地图，资源流和股票市场数据的实时数据相结合。然后将这些转化为“数据雕塑”--在空间周围投射出多个视觉路径，将用户集中在一个新兴的、动态的、实时的世界地图中，包括矿山、金属资源流和生产过程，这些都导致了我们的日常技术。（自然历史博物馆），创意技术人员和场地，通过以前的获奖戏剧制作Megalith（2022）开发。该公司发现了一个机会，可以超越剧院，创造关于我们不断变化的星球的迷人，互动，沉浸式的技术体验。建立一个数据编码平台，并在YouSmash安装体验中对其进行测试，通过参观和销售编码平台以及可以从中创建的现场，参与式沉浸式活动，Mecharet发现了一个强劲，立即业务增长的绝佳机会。

Bristol is a global centre for nature filmmaking. An event at Bristol's 2022 Wildscreen Film Festival (supported by MyWorld & Invest Bristol+Bath), called the 'Future of Natural World Storytelling', demonstrated that there is huge audience appetite and market potential for new technology-based encounters with nature.Mechanimal is a multi award-winning performing arts company in Bristol, critically acclaimed by The Guardian and New Scientist, and with a touring profile across the UK and 9 international countries. We create experiences inviting audiences into fascinating encounters with our changing planet.We're innovating to make a new data coding platform. This helps us to create a new kind of immersive technology experience that offers people fascinating new relationships with a fast-changing Earth. Live actions of a user in an experience (e.g. placing items on a sensor) create data sets which are then combined with live data from our changing climate (e.g. weather data, mining extraction data). This creates the possibility for unique new immersive experiences that connect people to the 'liveness' of climate change unfolding in real-time.We propose to test this platform within an installation called 'YouSmash' - a participatory experience that augments spaces (at museums, galleries, events and festivals) with immersive projection. It explores the future of sustainable mining and technology use.During YouSmash, users will enter a dark room filled with projections of shifting maps and images. They will be invited to playfully (and safely) explore the many metals inside unwanted technology such as laptops and mobile phones. Placing them on different sensor trays creates different data sets, which are then combined with real-time data from mining maps, resources flows and stock market data. These are then translated into 'data sculpture' - multiple visual pathways projected around the space, centring the user within an emerging, dynamic, real-time worldmap of mines, metal resource flows and production processes that lead to our everyday tech.Mechanimal has a strong, pre-existing partnership of geology researchers (Natural History Museum), creative technologists and venues, developed through a previous award-winning theatre production, Megalith, (2022). The company identifies an opportunity to expand beyond theatre and create fascinating, interactive, immersive technology experiences about our changing planet. Building a data coding platform, and testing it within the YouSmash installation experience, Mechanimal identifies an outstanding opportunity for strong, immediate business growth through touring and selling both the coding platform and the live, participatory immersive events that can be created from it.
