Important results from the project
The project strengthened Sweden´s position as an innovative force in XR storytelling. We brought together artistic research and education with relevant industries in closer dialogue, contributing to the country´s capacity to produce innovative educational and entertainment solutions. We have actively promoted gender equality in internal processes and external results, creating XR environments and stories where all genders can participate on equal terms (Objective 5 Gender equality Agenda 2030).
Expected long term effects
Through collaborations, the project provides American actors, among others, with access to unique creative methods and new ways to leverage social VR platforms to engage users and create more dynamic stories. By consciously working within environments designed for queer expression, we explore and develop narrative formats that challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes. This ultimately contributes to a more inclusive and representative storytelling within XR.
