∆ Active ProjectProject Type: XR Exhibit
(mixed reality experience) Role: Co-Director / Producer An immersive story about balance, opportunity, near misses, and hope. It is a story about humanity and the element common to us all: our sky! |
COMING SOON! Project is in development. Open to sponsorship/partnership opportunities. We're so excited to share it with you.
Overview:
Near-earth space is a common resource, finite and basically ungoverned. In this experience, you will join Moriba Jah, space environmentalist, on a journey of discovery and human connection to our shared sky. Eyes on the Sky is a platform that combines Augmented Reality and Internet of Things allowing them to work in conjunction with each other. Collaborating creatively with professors, peers, and mentors alike, our end goal is to drive awareness for space environmentalism and craft a new sustainability law recognized by the UN.
The project is currently under discussion for partnerships with NASA, National Geographic, and others. Eyes on the Sky aspires for our hearts, minds, and eyes to look upward, protecting and preserving our Earth and space for generations to come.

What problem are we trying to solve?
|
|
Without monitoring and legislation, the cosmic junkyard will continue to grow. Near-earth space is outside conventional environmental protection standards. And yet as a finite resource, our space-traffic footprint is an important but underexplored sustainability metric.
The solution: We are developing Eyes on the Sky as a Mixed Reality experience designed to bring space environmentalism education alive. Our goal is to move a minimum of 10k people a year through this experience and use immersion to foster attitude and behavioral change. We hope to spark a shared understanding of space environmentalism and our role in the element common to us all: our sky! The 20-minute immersive story allows for 8 people to actively engage in the immersive SkyDome experience as it moves through multiple worlds. The SkyDome is a projection mapping dome experience, mixed with the traditions of theater stage craft and cutting edge extended reality technology, allowing us to change one space into multiple locations. The audience will participate in the story via a traveling immersive exhibition. This Mixed Reality experience combines both physical and digital assets and spaces to make the story world come alive.

Who will be impacted by the project?
Near-space is finite and essential. At the same time, it is also without governance. Competing global interests threaten the current precarious balance and, consequently, our future way of life. Eyes on the Sky is an immersive experience project centered around space environmentalism. Uniting three schools at UT Austin (Cockrell School of Engineering, Moody College of Communication, and College of Liberal Arts), the Eyes on the Sky immersive experience advocates for a new United Nations Sustainable Development Goal to help protect the authenticity of the skies around us.
This project may also provide Immersive Curriculum Opportunities including:
