You have found yourself in the middle of a play but you can’t remember your lines and you’re not even sure of your character.
Borne out of a family member's diagnosis and decline, Sundowning is a virtual reality film that explores the experience of having Alzheimer’s from a first-person perspective. The experience combines an embodied 360° video with theatre and an interactive, higher order ambisonic soundscape [1], giving the viewer a new understanding of this strange and isolating disease.
A major influence on the piece was the experience of a Virtual Dementia tour [2] [3], conducted while researching Alzheimer's in order to better understand what a family member was going through. This raised the question: whose point of view was embodied by the camera in a 360 video?
