Sept, 2025Emerging Technology & Storytelling Residency + Summit
Shangri-La Center for Isalmic Culture, Art & Design
HIWorkshop & Consultation by
Carlos Johns-Dávila

During the Emerging Technology & Storytelling Residency at Shangri La in Honolulu, my work explored how immersive media can deepen access to cultural heritage through experimentation, dialogue, and place-based collaboration. Engaging with Shangri La’s art collection and Hawaiʻi’s local creative community, I developed prototypes and research-driven concepts that bridged accessibility and cultural exchange. As part of this exchange, I led a workshop at Honolulu Tech Week 2025 titled Bodies as Interfaces: Interactive Media with Computer Vision, introducing participants to low barrier motion tracking as a creative tool for exploring consent in XR, accessibility, & cultural representation in performance.
