The IPS was designed to create  intermedia experiments in virtual and mixed reality, digital technology,  computer science and live performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are particularly interested in exploring how  digital technology and virtual environments can affect interpersonal  dynamics (i.e., individual interactions with virtual actors and  intelligent agents), as well as the communal relationships that are  traditionally a part of live performance. The studio aims to make  low-cost virtual reality systems available to local performers and  audiences, while also developing new tools to expand the studio as a  flexible and dynamic testing ground for the development of new creative  projects, equipment, and interfaces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our main 2010 project is <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/playsharebeyondin.org\/\">play\/share beyond\/in<\/a>,  an interactive game played between the real streets of Buffalo and a  fantastic alternate history city using mobile phones, installations, and  social web media. Game Day 1 was July 31st  during the Buffalo  Infringement Festival, and the fun continues online during September.  The grand finale will take place Sunday, October 3rd, in conjunction  with the Beyond\/In Western New York exhibition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our most recent dramatic production was <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/woyubu.org\/\">WoyUbu: Watch or  Play<\/a> (2009). Created in  collaboration with the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.realdreamcabaret.com\/\">Real Dream  Cabaret<\/a>, WoyUbu premiere in a rented  gallery space in Buffalo @ 1716 Main Street. The performance included  live actors, robot, virtual reality, game, puppet, live streaming video,  original video games, and audience participation.
