DETACHMENT OFFICIAL SXSW XR SELECTION

So excited to share that Ristband’s first standalone VR experience is an official selection at SXSW Festival 2024, which showcases the best XR pieces around the world in Austin, TX. Honoured to be a part of the event, featured alongside incredible XR creators and experiences.

Detachment is a cinematic and interactive journey through our shifting sense of reality, challenging our sense of the here and now, and blending the boundary between a music video and video game with a unique movement mechanic that rewards the curious.

Detachment is told from the future, looking back at how technology has impacted our experience of reality and the journey of humankind. Soundtracked by electronic artist Venice Bleach and narrated by actor Erik Todd Dellums, Detachment explores the way our sense of reality is in constant flux.

This is the standalone version of a live music XR (mixed reality) concert that has toured the world.

It will be available for download via game stores in April 2024.
