We built AR and VR spaces, interfaces and stylized intricate prosthetics for the series.

Emcee
We created a visual language for the AI character in the series. Different 3D visual cues are set off when different emotions are triggered by the AI’s interactions.
Using a combination of these, we were able to bring Emcee to life and give her a human touch without having to rely on facial expressions and tone of voice.

Emcee Iterations ︎︎︎
We built an interface to house Emcee’s interactions and communication analysis. The UI was driven by audio and video data. Incorporating face capture, 3D elements and a 2D interface, we were able to build Emcee and her world.
