Virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) are finally here, and although many people are still unaware of them, they’re about to revolutionize many aspects of our lives. In these early days of immersive technologies, there is limitless potential to define how we will use these new media. Recent breakthroughs in the neurosciences offer a compelling opportunity: making virtual what was once only real in individual’s own mind, unlocking an unprecedented new avenue for communication and empathy. Inspired by these neuroscientific discoveries and the sci-fi capabilities enabled by immersive technologies, Oscillations is a performing arts company designed to chart new territory along this avenue in a highly creative way.

Join Oscillations for an interdisciplinary panel discussion on the future of art, neuroscience, and immersive technologies. Professors and students across various departments at Northwestern University will offer their insights into what this future might look like, and Oscillations will take you behind-the-scenes of the making of a virtual reality experience.
