Case Western University – How LiDAR and Holographic Tech Transformed a Live Dance Performance

Overview

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University premiered Quest: The Legacy of the Odyssey, a groundbreaking dance production that redefined the boundaries of live performance. This ambitious work, created by Gary Galbraith - Artistic Director of Dance, merged ancient Mayan mythology with cutting-edge spatial computing and AI technologies, including Quanergy's 3D LiDAR tracking, Microsoft's HoloLens, 3D-audio surround sound, and holographic visuals.

The result? An immersive, world-first experience that invited the audience to step directly into the mythic narrative, blurring the line between viewer and performer.
