Ghosted

for Magic Leap

Ghosted is an interactive augmented reality performance piece, featuring volumetrically captured actors appearing across a table from the user. 

 

Surprise, you’re dead - but the good news is that you’ve made a deal with the big guy down below to let you come back to Earth - as long as you agree to pick one annoying ghost to bring with you, who’ll haunt you for the rest of your days.

Special thanks to Magic Leap, Scatter, and the team at the North Bend Film Festival for their support.

This portfolio focuses on projects I feel I contributed significantly to as an artist or created whole cloth. Much of my experience includes developing and platforming others' work as a producer, teacher, and coach. For more about that, please visit kevinlaibson.com.

this is my favorite joke:

A dog walks in to a telegrapher's office and says "I'd like to send a telegram to my sister, please."

 

The telegrapher, surprised by the situation, says "Well, um, okay - what would you like it to say?"
 

"Woof, woof woof, woof woof woof woof, woof, woof."
 

The telegrapher puts down his pencil and lowers his glasses a little, "You know, that's just nine 'woof's. I could throw in a tenth and it would be the same price."
 

The dog cocks his head to the side and says, "But...then it wouldn't make any sense."
