Niyah and the Multiverse is the capstone of a years-long collaboration between the Adler team and experts in Afrofuturism and African cultures. The show features an original script by Chicago-based writers Taylor Witten and Ytasha Womack; the talent of local voice actors; and art, music, and photography from local and international partners.
The Adler Planetarium is the first planetarium in the Western Hemisphere! Located on Chicago’s lakeshore, the museum typically hosts more than half a million visitors each year and reaches millions more through youth STEAM programs, neighborhood skywatching events, people-powered research, and other outreach efforts. Today, the Adler is bringing our unique approach—scientific exploration rooted in community and connection—to guests from around the world who can enjoy the digital Adler from their own homes, libraries, schools or offices.
As part of the VR-Development Team, I was contracted to build one of my main cinematic scenes in the film experience utilizing these VR tools : Open-Brush and Gravity Sketch.
