D.R.O.I.D will take place in Bristol, England on the 23rd February 2008 in the Trinity Arts Centre, and simultaneously on the island of Prados Azules in the virtual world of Second Life. The line-up at the Trinity will feature live acts, DJs and VJs, and using a number of video cameras, this will be live mixed and streamed into Second Life where avatars will be able to enjoy the sites and sounds of the event in Bristol.
At the Trinity two huge suspended back-projected screens will show the audience the virtual world of Second Life. There will also be “interface terminals” in the hall to allow participants to interact with their digital counterparts. The aim is for the two audiences, the physical and the digital, to come together, meet each other and interact.
More information about this event and the D.R.O.I.D project can be found on the Xtream Labs website.
