The participant will create interactive and virtual arthouse games to experiment with new ways of communicating in the future society.

About Immersive Performance
Immersive Performance Education Program is designed to experiment with a real-time Immersive Content creation process by attempting to merge virtual reality into performance. Various majors from Korea National University of Arts will expand their expressive areas into new artistic creations through virtual reality stages that cross the boundaries between the language of performance and space-time, which enable direct communication between audiences and performers on an impromptu.
