@ Scandic Tampere Koskipuisto, Koskikatu 5
How can technology enhance larp experiences? To what degree does technology interfere with immersion in larp? Meet Me Halfway is a short larp scenario for 10 people about soul mates reincarnating into new lives and finding one another.
In Meet Me Halfway, players will play multiple incarnations of soul mates who can only communicate in limited ways, including various types of technology: text-based, VR, and audio. The larp experience and the workshop following it will explore questions around the degree to which players can immerse deeply and emotionally powerfully with the affordances and limitations of technology. Location: Scandic Tampere Koskipuisto Room: Restaurant Cabinet
