ELELE

Created by Dutch artist Sjoerd van Acker, ELELE is sensory and intuitive VR experience that is at times psychedelic and at times meditative. It invites you(r hands) to take part in a dance performance and explore the beauty of your movements. Dance as big and loud as you want! We only expect you to bring an open mind. But beware, things may get a little out of hand ...

Eggscape

In this truly original work, you step into the shoes of a terrified little egg struggling to stay alive in a hostile world. Control your egg in a boxing ring playground, karate alley, and a Vegas-like universe of excess. By surviving wacky situations, you might learn a life lesson or two.

Midnight Story

Have you ever been alone in a sad coach station? Using interactive elements triggered by gazing, Midnight Story lets the viewer meet different lonely characters in a coach station as they are waiting for the last coach. Until, suddenly ... the resident pigeons in the station manage to create a connection between them all. A VR adaptation of Niclass' BAFTA-winning short film Do Not Feed the Pigeons.
