Setup
Xenodu systems and installations use innovative combinations of technologies including immersive displays, surround-sound systems, machine vision, video special effects, novel interactive computer interfaces, motion sensor controllers and LED mood lighting to enable participants to interact with a diverse range of photorealistic virtual environments in custom-designed spaces.
Whilst offering a more natural and unencumbered way of experiencing immersive media, our systems and installations enable both group interactions as well as individual user-interactions with highly engaging scenarios under precisely controlled conditions.
With the advantage of portability our systems and installations can be easily transported and set-up in any location and configured as either a temporary feature or as a permanent fixture for regular use.

Our interactive avatars incorporate complex scripting and rule-based guardrails, to facilitate voice-controlled interactions with virtual characters using natural conversation.
Our detailed scripting process allows our interactive avatars to feature believable personalities, unique points of view, detailed back-stories, family backgrounds and personal histories.
Our specialist production process can create a diverse range of interactive avatars that capture the subtle nuances of body language and communication.

Interactive Avatars
Our interactive avatars enable fully-automated voice-controlled interactions using natural conversation between users and virtual characters.
Integrating our integrated avatars into a role-play learning experience can enhance communication skills development, reflective practice, accessibility and engagement across diverse educational settings.
Using our interactive avatars, learners are able to think about and experiment with their communication style and work out how to respond in challenging situations by giving them a licence to fail and learn from their mistakes in a safe environment through using simulated high-stakes scenarios.
By incorporating complex scripting in combination with strict rule-based guardrails, the creation of our interactive avatars requires rigorous conversational design and prompting to prevent them from veering off-subject and giving unrelated responses.

Sensory Space Installations
Through the use of immersive displays, surround-sound systems, motion sensor controllers and LED mood lighting, our immersive Sensory Space installations offer a private, fully-automated experience, similar to stepping into the diary room of Big Brother, bringing the participants' interactions to life, stimulating intimate and honest exploration of ideas and perspectives.
Our Sensory Space installations have toured with various partners including the BBC, to various public spaces around the UK to engage members of the public with a diverse range of interactive virtual experiences, exploring participants' thoughts and feelings on a variety of subjects and providing unique opportunities for meditation, introspection, personal reflection and intimate dialogue.
Since our Sensory Space installations are highly versatile, they can be incorporated into a wide range of spaces, and can be custom-branded to feature content for any subject imaginable.

'Out-Of-Body' System
Our virtual 'Out-Of-Body' system comprises of a video camera linked to a computer which feeds to a large screen display. The participant is then filmed by the camera as they face the screen, with machine vision technology being used to extract the image of the participant from their background and superimpose it onto the interactive virtual environments.
The combined image is then displayed on the screen in front of the participant which offers them a unique third person perspective from which to simultaneously experience and observe their interactions with the virtual environments, whilst also recording their interactions for review and discussion.
