MidsummerNight X

MidsummerNight X

Selected XR Development Market

Information

A fictional escape room made out of your dreams. Meet an AI-Dream Fairy who "reads" your psyche and weaves an escape-room-like dreamscape in VR that you need to "solve". A journey for 6 friends or strangers who uncover the mysteries of each others' dreams.

THE DIFFERENCE MACHINE is an interdisciplinary collective with a mission to discover and shape the future of entertainment. We act on an intersection of content creation, technology, and research to develop new forms of storytelling using AI and XR.

OUR VISION:

AI-Native: Instead of utilizing artificial intelligence to replace human creators, we apply it to drive storytelling in ways never seen or possible before.

Illuminative: With neural networks representing a new way to process information, we use them as mirrors of the human psyche and culture to provide cathartic experiences to our audiences.

Human-centric: Amongst the fears of technology as an isolating force, we use it to develop entertainment that brings people closer to themselves and each other.
