Project: XR: Creative Interdisciplinary Immersive Knowledge ExchangeS - XR: CIIRKES/Extraordinary Circus. XR is the term currently used to refer to a wide range of contemporary immersive technologies such as VR/AR & 360 film. In this context we use it for projects that might combine a range of these tools and techniques alongside other technologies involving data and human interaction in the elaboration of novel experiences. The term XR also used to evoke the innovation and experimentation at the heart of this project through allusion to a notion of 'an extraordinary circus'.The project primarily seeks to address the question of : What innovative creative content and emotionally impactful audience experiences are possible if we bring together academics specialising in haptic, interactive and immersive technologies with circus and street arts directors and performers. A further question will be explored through the collaborative partnership which is to identify the potential national and international market and exhibition possibilities for the resultant work as both live experiences and as digital products. The project will provide the infrastructure to support a team of academic researchers, technicians and artists in a series of creative co-laboratories - facilitated directive workshops & studios. These laboratories will provide the context within which expertise can be shared in the collaborative exploration of the application of haptic, interactive and immersive technology in circus and street art event design. Exposure to experimentation with the affordances offered by these new haptic, sonic and visualisation technologies will provide an opportunity for creatives and producers to be given privileged, direct and well-supported access to experimentation with these technologies. This project , will put these tools and techniques in the hands of a diverse curated group of artists that have had limited access or opportunity for engagement thus far. This project will bring together the extraordinary skills, expertise and experience of circus and street artists and producers in to the direct experimentation with these technologies: Skills such as: - Manipulating our gaze and emotions with an immersive environment- Initiating and conducting audience interaction- Responding to new opportunities and improvising when things go wrong- An integration of technical equipment within their performance- A wider realm and range of physical movements including 'flight' through aerial and trapeze work.Both the spectacular and intimate forms of circus and street arts provide an opportunity for unique and 'never-before-seen' audience views and experiences: for example from the top of a trapeze.The project partners - leading exhibitors, funders and curators - will collaborate with us on the recruitment and curation of an appropriate spreof artistic skills and expertise to participate in the rapid prototyping process. Participants will work together over a period of 4 months with access to research expertise and technical support to iterate 5 novel acts that will be exhibited in proof of concept format at the final Live Laboratory in the process - a high profile event which we are describing as the "XR: CIIRKES - Cabaret of Curiosities" which will take place at the internationally celebrated Brighton Fringe Festival venue - the Spiegeltent. This will be a public performance of the works-in-progress, in order to understand the audience experience and to further test the technologies of live event capture. The overall project will be underpinned by a robust literature review, project and impact evaluation and visual documentation. The project will also have a further objective to generate awareness and visibility for the potential of this sector and will therefore be accompanied by a series of press releases tailored at building visibility and engagement.

项目：XR：创意跨学科沉浸式知识交流 - XR：CIIRKES/非凡马戏团。 XR 目前用于指代各种当代沉浸式技术，例如 VR/AR 和 360 度电影。在这种情况下，我们将其用于可能将一系列这些工具和技术与其他涉及数据和人类交互的技术结合起来的项目，以阐述新颖的体验。 XR 一词还通过暗示“非凡马戏团”的概念来唤起该项目核心的创新和实验。该项目主要旨在解决以下问题：哪些创新的创意内容和具有情感影响力的观众体验是可能的如果我们将专门研究触觉、互动和沉浸式技术的学者与马戏团和街头艺术导演和表演者聚集在一起。进一步的问题将通过合作伙伴关系来探讨，即确定潜在的国内和国际市场以及最终作品作为现场体验和数字产品的展览可能性。该项目将提供基础设施，支持一系列创意合作实验室中的学术研究人员、技术人员和艺术家团队 - 促进指导研讨会和工作室。这些实验室将提供共享专业知识的环境，以协作探索触觉、互动和沉浸式技术在马戏团和街头艺术活动设计中的应用。接触这些新的触觉、声音和可视化技术提供的实验将为创意人员和制作人提供一个机会，让他们能够获得特权、直接和良好的支持来进行这些技术的实验。该项目将把这些工具和技术交给迄今为止接触或参与机会有限的多元化艺术家群体手中。该项目将汇集马戏团和街头艺术家和制作人的非凡技能、专业知识和经验，对这些技术进行直接实验：技能包括： - 通过沉浸式环境操纵我们的目光和情感 - 发起和进行观众互动 - 响应遇到新的机会并在出现问题时即兴发挥 - 将技术设备融入表演中 - 更广泛的身体运动领域和范围，包括通过空中和空中飞人工作进行“飞行”。马戏团和街头的壮观和亲密形式艺术为独特和“前所未见”的观众观点和体验提供了机会：例如从空中飞人的顶部。项目合作伙伴 - 领先的参展商、资助者和策展人 - 将与我们合作招募和策划具有适当的艺术技能和专业知识来参与快速原型制作过程。参与者将在 4 个月的时间内共同努力，获得研究专业知识和技术支持，以迭代 5 个新颖的行为，这些行为将在最终的现场实验室中以概念验证的形式展示 - 这是一个备受瞩目的活动，我们将其描述为“XR：CIIRKES - 好奇歌舞表演”将在国际著名的布莱顿边缘艺术节场地 Spiegeltent 举行。这将是对正在制作的作品的公开表演，以了解观众的体验并进一步测试现场事件捕捉技术。整个项目将以可靠的文献综述、项目和影响评估以及视觉记录为基础。该项目还有一个进一步的目标，即提高对该行业潜力的认识和知名度，因此将发布一系列旨在提高知名度和参与度的新闻稿。
