Folding Futures by Air Origami

See the strange and change the future as a Time Tourist to the year 2064 with this experience by La Jolla-based XR (extended reality) World developer Origami Air Co. Guided by Systems Rangers and an AI Guardian, Ava Waters, you will make first contact with the incredible world that is the future of Earth. Travel beneath the Ancient Redwood forests of Cascadia to the home of a newly discovered creature emerging from the “Otter World.” But watch out–the Intertemporal Quantum Reality Operating System will send its own agents and Paradox Researchers, who will try to take the future into their own hands.

WOW Festival proudly presents this “First Look” project that gives you the opportunity to be part of the very first audiences. Read more here.
