you can also experience Missing 10 Hours, Winner of XR Impact Award 2023 - best International Experience created by Fanni Fazakas of RUME XR who is currently a senior lecturer at Victoria University,

This XR experience takes aim at the infamous bystander effect, a social psychological theory that has gained currency in recent years. We are invited to bear witness to a horrific series of events and slowly realize how easy it is for a vulnerable young woman to become a victim of date rape. This sensitive yet confrontational portrayal of a deeply upsetting social trend directly hits upon several topics that have been in the zeitgeist recently. It performs an important social service at a time when people are engaged in heated debates over rape culture.

Don't miss this groundbreaking event that showcases the best of NZ XR. Experience the world premieres, marvel at the installations, and be part of the future of storytelling.
