Everything Immersive This Week (3/17/2018)
MRNews
A week of surprises from Meow Wolf’s documentary, a scavenger hunt, and an alternate reality experience for one, all at SXSW
It’s been another jam-packed week in immersive-land. Perry Farrell announced plans for an enomorous, music-focused immersive playground in Las Vegas. Bryan Bishop of The Verge took part in an interactive, sci-fi immersive experience which took part over the course of four days at SXSW and wrote an eight part series about his experience. Team NoPro caught the premiere of Meow Wolf: Origin Story as well as participating in a wild and crazy scavenger hunt organized by Meow Wolf, which involved nighttime hikes and mysterious backyard trailers. Thanks again to our team on the ground in Austin: Cara Mandel, Amanda Schuckman, and Rachel Walker. 👏👏👏
And we’re still obssessing over the Westworld experience that popped up at SXSW. ICYMI, here’s the 15 minute walk-through our team put together:
