Spectral Haven
XR Competition
Information
Ray Kurzweil's seminal book "The Singularity Is Near" serves as an entry point into the speculative future world of "Spectral Haven", where all hopes for conscious AI fell short: Hundreds of global architectural photogrammetry scans, eerie robot simulation surroundings and a disgruntled virtual futurist make up an engaging and immersive glimpse into a future where AI holds none of the promises of today, but all of the regrets.
