As part of Active Replica’s continued collaboration with OnBoardXR, we are proud to feature Koryn Wicks’ Windward Wandering, Leeward Port during the Constellation pilot this August.

Windward Wandering, Leeward Port

Windward Wandering, Leeward Port is a VR journey exploring the ocean's influence on our imagination. From heroes to villains, from mermaids to monsters, the ocean has provided us with a wealth of folk tales and fantasy. Windward Wandering, Leeward Port is an interactive VR experience that integrates Mozillab Hubs with 360 dance on film.

Why OnBoardXR?

Connecting with OnBoardXR opened a whole new world by introducing me to a community that supported me to explore this new technology.

“I have a lot of experience and expertise in film, interactive programming and projection design, but VR requires a whole host of other skills that are not easy to learn. Connecting with OnBoardXR opened a whole new world by introducing me to a community that supported me to explore this new technology.

The production and design team at OnBoardXR are incredibly supportive. The production team has created a wonderful infrastructure for making VR work while also giving the artists the freedom and autonomy to make their art. OnBoardXR has created this wonderful sandbox, then not only do they invite artists to come play, but they ask us, ‘what kind of toys do you want to play with?’ Then they say, ‘we’ll make them for you!’”
