GUÀI

Unleash your inner monster with this AI-charged avatar experience.

​

Ever wondered what kind of monster lives inside? Guài can show you.

Presented by Melbourne Fringe and Footscray Community Arts, this immersive augmented-reality mirror uses state-of-the-art technology to map your face (and emotions), and then transforms you into a fantastical monster avatar that reflects the uniqueness of you. Guài is a unique and playful experience hat deconstructs AI’s alienating power and turns it into a fun personality-tester with beastly results.
