Pepper's Ghost New Media & Performing Arts Collective was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in the spring of 2014 by veterans of the theatre, dance, film, music and video game industries, along with leading academic researchers in new media, to explore the expressive potential of advanced computer graphics, digital audio and visual effects technologies, including real-time motion capture, stereo 3D projection, electronic sound synthesis and virtual & augmented reality, in the creation of live theatre, music and dance performances.
