During the Covid-19 lockdown period in the second quarter of 2020, existing Audience of the Future Challenge award-holders continued to develop projects, albeit within the limits presented by lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These projects include Dinosaurs and Robots<\/a>, a mixed reality experience led by Factory 42 and originally created for London\u2019s Natural History Museum and Science Museum; Dream<\/a>, a live, online performance set in a virtual midsummer forest by the Royal Shakespeare Company and partners; an augmented reality experience featuring Aardman Animations\u2019 Wallace & Gromit<\/a>; and WEAVR<\/a>, an AI-driven, mixed reality platform that has launched a new version of its experimental platform, creating the world\u2019s first online-only eSports tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Covid-19 video diary series, hear about the creativity and experience that the teams went through in order to pivot their projects. They had to find new ways to work, adjust their projects around the obstacles presented, and not least, consider how their projects might work in a post-Covid world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create the series, the demonstrator project teams were asked to record their progress as \u2018video diaries\u2019 explaining how they adjusted their projects to comply with Covid 19 restrictions. Part one of a three part series, the following video diaries are available to watch now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
