Ekhos is an augmented reality game that brings to life the expressive movements of city dwellers in the shape of digital sculptures. Each sculpture, or ‘Ekho’, embodies the unique characteristics of its contributor, fostering a deep connection to our surroundings, inspiring physical self-expression and building community.
Each Ekho has a unique name, soundscape, and magnitude - based on player contributions. To contribute, players find the nearest Ekho, activate AR mode, and start dancing. The Ekho will mimic the player's movements and turn them into a multisensory performance. Ekhos is an innovative use of AR technology for artistic self-expression and body movement.
