The Interactive Exhibition with support from Arts Council England will showcase 16 interactive docs to play, touch and experience. Ram Devieni (speaking at the Crossover Summit) will show his artistic response to male sexual violence in India, Priya’s Shakti. At Crossover Market 2014 and developed at Crossover Labs Scotland, it uses augmented reality in the style of traditional Indian comics. An augmented reality mural will be painted on the side of the festival lounge in Tudor Square.
