This project is an immersive mixed-reality experience built around a physical robot (Unitree G1) and an asymmetric AR system spanning two separate spaces. Set within the wreckage of a crashed spacecraft, the experience asks players to collaborate with a robot to restore damaged systems and escape.

At the core of the project is a thought experiment about human–machine relationships. One player enters the robot’s point of view through AR, seeing through its eyes and operating its movements and actions. The other player shares physical space with the robot and interacts with it directly through AR-based repair tasks and cooperative mechanisms.

Throughout the experience, the robot is also designed to have its own way of thinking. It does not always respond perfectly or predictably; instead, it may hesitate or reinterpret commands. It encourages players to perceive the robot as something beyond a fully controllable tool. As players collaborate, control becomes less explicit, and cooperation must be negotiated rather than assumed.

The purpose of this project is to explore a new form of entertainment that explores how trust, empathy, and identity shift when the robot is not purely obedient, but an entity with partial autonomy and hidden intent.
