Over the course of three weeks, the experience sold out daily. Our dedicated team of docents successfully transported over 4,000 visitors at Lincoln Center into the immersive universe of The Dream Machine using the Meta Quest 3 headsets. EyeJack's co-founder, Sutu, crafted six distinct experiences featuring virtual performances by legendary artists, captivating audiences of all ages with visually rich and immersive worlds.

The Bridge

Outside Lincoln Center, EyeJack unveiled a city-scale geospatial AR adventure. Led by Cyboracle, a mesmerising, larger-than-life virtual avatar brought to life by Nona Hendryx, visitors are invited on a self-guided journey to explore the vibrant tapestry of the land's past, present, and future inhabitants. The Dream Machine app seamlessly facilitates this journey, guiding explorers through the plaza and immersing them in the AR stories located throughout.
