At EU@SXSW, Nick’s 3D artworks came to life in 3D Augmented Reality

The exhibition was part of the S+T+ARTS GRIN project on art-driven innovation for the digital and green transition, promoting cross-regional-disciplinary cooperation in the EU. The experience is powered by XR.PLUS (European entrepreneurship based in the French Region of Normandie is leading the global market of Extended Reality).

Online visitor can still discover the artwork ! Because it is based on web technologies, there is no need for XR PLUS contemplators to download any app to experience XR compositions.
