Be my (body) guest: 360-degree video experience

Be my (body) guest is a digitally enhanced circus piece by Carolyn Watt, produced by the XR Circus project. This performance considers contrasting audience perspectives of the female aerialist, exploring the notion of the gaze through the use of 360 technology, point of view video and projection. This piece offers juxtaposing views of the female aerialist. In this iteration of the piece the 360-degree video headset experience was available for spectators to experience.
