Project: XR: Creative Interdisciplinary Immersive Knowledge ExchangeS - XR: CIIRKES/Extraordinary Circus. XR is the term currently used to refer to a wide range of contemporary immersive technologies such as VR/AR & 360 film. In this context we use it for projects that might combine a range of these tools and techniques alongside other technologies involving data and human interaction in the elaboration of novel experiences. The term XR also used to evoke the innovation and experimentation at the heart of this project through allusion to a notion of 'an extraordinary circus'.The project primarily seeks to address the question of : What innovative creative content and emotionally impactful audience experiences are possible if we bring together academics specialising in haptic, interactive and immersive technologies with circus and street arts directors and performers. A further question will be explored through the collaborative partnership which is to identify the potential national and international market and exhibition possibilities for the resultant work as both live experiences and as digital products. The project will provide the infrastructure to support a team of academic researchers, technicians and artists in a series of creative co-laboratories - facilitated directive workshops & studios. These laboratories will provide the context within which expertise can be shared in the collaborative exploration of the application of haptic, interactive and immersive technology in circus and street art event design. Exposure to experimentation with the affordances offered by these new haptic, sonic and visualisation technologies will provide an opportunity for creatives and producers to be given privileged, direct and well-supported access to experimentation with these technologies. This project , will put these tools and techniques in the hands of a diverse curated group of artists that have had limited access or opportunity for engagement thus far. This project will bring together the extraordinary skills, expertise and experience of circus and street artists and producers in to the direct experimentation with these technologies: Skills such as: - Manipulating our gaze and emotions with an immersive environment- Initiating and conducting audience interaction- Responding to new opportunities and improvising when things go wrong- An integration of technical equipment within their performance- A wider realm and range of physical movements including 'flight' through aerial and trapeze work.Both the spectacular and intimate forms of circus and street arts provide an opportunity for unique and 'never-before-seen' audience views and experiences: for example from the top of a trapeze.The project partners - leading exhibitors, funders and curators - will collaborate with us on the recruitment and curation of an appropriate spreof artistic skills and expertise to participate in the rapid prototyping process. Participants will work together over a period of 4 months with access to research expertise and technical support to iterate 5 novel acts that will be exhibited in proof of concept format at the final Live Laboratory in the process - a high profile event which we are describing as the "XR: CIIRKES - Cabaret of Curiosities" which will take place at the internationally celebrated Brighton Fringe Festival venue - the Spiegeltent. This will be a public performance of the works-in-progress, in order to understand the audience experience and to further test the technologies of live event capture. The overall project will be underpinned by a robust literature review, project and impact evaluation and visual documentation. The project will also have a further objective to generate awareness and visibility for the potential of this sector and will therefore be accompanied by a series of press releases tailored at building visibility and engagement.

项目：XR：创意跨学科沉浸式知识交流S-XR：CIIRKES/非凡马戏团。XR是目前用于指代各种当代沉浸式技术的术语，如VR/AR和360度电影。在这种情况下，我们使用它的项目，可能结合联合收割机的一系列这些工具和技术，以及其他技术，涉及数据和人类互动的阐述新的经验。XR这个词也被用来唤起这个项目的核心创新和实验，通过暗示“一个非凡的马戏团”的概念。这个项目主要是为了解决这样一个问题：如果我们把专门研究触觉、互动和沉浸式技术的学者与马戏团和街头艺术导演和表演者聚集在一起，什么样的创新创意内容和情感上有影响力的观众体验是可能的。将通过合作伙伴关系探讨另一个问题，即确定潜在的国内和国际市场以及作为现场体验和数字产品的成果作品的展览可能性。该项目将提供基础设施，以支持学术研究人员，技术人员和艺术家团队参加一系列创意合作实验室促进的指导研讨会和工作室。这些实验室将提供一个环境，在这个环境中，可以分享专业知识，共同探索触觉、互动和沉浸式技术在马戏团和街头艺术活动设计中的应用。接触这些新的触觉、声音和可视化技术所提供的功能，将为创意人员和制作人提供一个机会，让他们有特权、直接和得到良好支持的机会接触这些技术。这个项目将把这些工具和技术交给一群不同的艺术家，他们到目前为止接触或参与的机会有限。该项目将汇集马戏团和街头艺术家和制作人的非凡技能，专业知识和经验，直接实验这些技术：- 在沉浸式环境中操纵我们的目光和情绪-发起和进行观众互动-应对新的机会并在出现问题时即兴发挥-将技术设备集成到表演中-更广泛的领域和范围的身体运动，包括通过空中和空中工作的“飞行”。马戏和街头艺术的壮观和亲密的形式提供了一个独特的和“从未见过”的观众观看和体验的机会：例如，从一个圆顶的顶部。该项目的合作伙伴-领先的参展商，资助者和策展人-将与我们合作，招募和策划适当的艺术技能和专业知识，以参与快速原型制作过程。参与者将在4个月的时间内共同工作，获得研究专业知识和技术支持，以105种新颖的行为，这些行为将在最后的现场实验室中以概念验证的形式展出-这是一个备受瞩目的活动，我们将其描述为“XR：CIIRKES -好奇的歌舞表演”，将在国际着名的布莱顿边缘艺术节场地-Spiegeltent举行。这将是一个正在进行的工作的公开表演，以了解观众的经验，并进一步测试现场活动捕捉技术。整个项目将得到强有力的文献审查、项目和影响评价以及视觉文件的支持。该项目还有一个进一步的目标，即提高人们对该部门潜力的认识和知名度，因此将同时发布一系列新闻稿，以提高知名度和参与度。
