Alternate Realities
Step into another world with highlights of the Alternate Realities programme from the UK’s premier documentary festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest.
Alternate Realities encompasses virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and immersive installations.
We will play host to three free exhibits exploring ideas around home, identity and technology. Investigate new and innovative ways of storytelling as you become immersed in another life, discover how a machine sees you, and engage in an intimate interaction with the other side of the world.
