      Kiira Benzing created one of the most fun immersive dance parties I've ever seen featuring the popping beats by @reggiewatts & @johntejada.

      Melissa Painter fuses embodied practices of yoga, dance, & akido with VR in EMBODY. It's a great warm-up/palatte-cleanser that cultivates a sense of embodied presence.

      EMERGENCE explores group dynamics. Part of the power of the VR medium will be in demonstrating non-linear dynamics of ecosystems you can play with in order to understand complex system dynamics. This experience does that in a fascinating way that patient users will have a payoff.pic.twitter.com/j7ryYpg0bC

      GHOST SHIP VR was the harddest-hitting dose of reality in the #NewFrontier program. Intense story of Tun Lin who was kidnapped & sold into slavery for 14 years on a ship catching fish. This VR doc has really stuck with me in a way that it wouldn't if it was just on a 2D screen.pic.twitter.com/Rr2IOj77jL

      THE TIDE: Ep #1 & #2 was a surrealist graphic novel story featuring giant mutant, man-eating fish. The credits said that they used @UnrealEngine, which given it's very unique and mated aesthetic was a bit of a surprise. Kind of a weird story overall, but even weirder in VR.pic.twitter.com/6XsT6gDJGa

          ASHE '68 recreates the context of a powerful moment in American history as Arthur Ashe won the US Open in 1968. Uses a hand-drawn animated style that's unlike anything I've seen in VR + uses lots of 2D photos, which creates a bit of a memory palace of Ashe's historic achievement.pic.twitter.com/lQDf6RLds5
