How would you like to try out a cutting edge interactive experience

and help us with some academic research at the same time?

Our Artistic Director is currently completing their PhD in Future Experience Technologies at the University of Nottingham and, as part of their thesis, they are conducting some research on an experience they've built called GUEST.

​

GUEST is an interactive first date simulator, recreating a one on one encounter between you and a character using a video chat app. Interacting with the experience as you would a real person allows you to progress through the story.

Taking part in the research would consist of spending one hour going through the experience several times and answering some questions about how much you enjoyed the experiences so that we can understand how different narrative structures and methods of interactivity can affect the enjoyment of interactive experiences. We will be running trials up to the end of 2020.

If you would like to take part, or would like further information about the study, please email
