MELT at MiX • Immersive Experience Design, Augmented Reality

Media Exposing Limited Time (MELT) is a large-scale immersive and interactive audio/visual art experience that invites participants to explore the theme of climate change and environmental issues. The installation combines large interactive projections, web-based interfaces, and Augmented Reality experiences. MELT employs multiple projectors, projection mapping, and motion-sensing input devices to transform the 3200-square-foot Enhanced Immersion Studio in ASU’s world-class Media and Immersive eXperience (MIX) Center in Mesa, Arizona.

The topic of environmental stability is a constant thought among humans no matter their generation, culture, or involvement with the living world around them. MELT creates interactions that bluntly show humans how we directly impact our surroundings no matter how abstractly we view them. This immersive experience leaves those who interact with it haunting thoughts of “Will this all still be here in the future, or will it MELT away?"
