Writer’s Block draws inspiration from the vibrant streets of NYC, the iconic birthplace of hip hop culture. Step into the world of mixed reality and embody the spirit of a breakdancer or graffiti artist right in your own space. Transform your surroundings into a tribute to hip hop with legendary artwork by graffiti writer Lady Pink and the soulful beats of Madlib.

We utilized the Movement SDK to capture body poses and movements for real-time feedback while you groove to hip hop tracks by legendary producers. I can study your dance poses from any angle by pausing your avatar mid-move.

We used passthrough camera and integrated body tracking while using a variety of presence platform capabilities, including Passthrough, Gestures, Hand Tracking, Movement SDK, Spatial Audio, Interactables, and Room Mesh.

This is a project done in collaboration with Kris Pilcher, Daniel Trujillo and Nick Kaufmann.
