UNMAKEABLELOVE realizes Beckett's The Lost Ones into digital form, creating believable intelligent agents from complex motion captured sequences. The "user" is asked to voyeur into this dark world, pointing a real torch into the virtual void, revealing snapshots of Beckett's imagination. A video feed captures each person using the installation, and projects them into the space, creating a truly room-scale mixed reality experience.

This project was developed from scratch, before mainstream use of Unity or Unreal Engine. It features volumetric rendering, incorporates extensive use of motion capture, and integrates several custom hardware elements into a truly ground breaking installation.
