Sweet Dreams

An invitation to the meal of your dreams. But will it remain a dream, forever out of reach? Drawing on mythological archetypes, the project turns a fine dining experience into a playful exploration of the destructive nature of our appetite and our debt to pleasure.

Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2019 - New Frontier Exhibitions - World premiere

A&E provided Technical Direction and hardware engineering for this project for its premiere at Sundance 2019 as well as subsequent shows in New York and London.

A theatrical VR experience where participants have a playful mixed reality experience involving food, drink and human actors, all while wearing a VR headset. Technical challenges included tracking various objects and sensing drinking and eating so that the virtual environment could respond in real time. A&E led the software development team and also designed and built all the custom hardware and control systems.
