On Friday 25th April, Keel Square will transform into a playground of the future with a live, interactive avatar experience at the Expo Sunderland Pavilion. It’s all part of the city’s year-round celebration of creativity, innovation and future living.
Families and visitors will have the chance to meet and chat with two playful digital characters, brought to life using cutting-edge motion capture technology. Controlled in real time by a live actor wearing a mocap suit, the avatars will interact with children and passersby in a fun and truly one-of-a-kind way.
What to expect:
– Two live avatar interaction sessions using real-time motion capture
– 11:00am session: specially designed for toddlers and infants
– 1:00pm session: ideal for junior-aged children
– A family-friendly Easter egg hunt running during both sessions
– Completely free – no booking needed!
This event is just one part of the vibrant Expo Sunderland Pavilion programme, offering a unique glimpse into how we’ll live, work and play in Sunderland for generations to come.
So, if you’re looking for a day of fun, wonder and future-facing family activities this Easter, make your way to Keel Square and join us for an experience like no other.
