In the 1940s, the city of Haicheng fell. A local opera troupe received an absurd order: perform Dream of the Red Chamber in exchange for five "citizen IDs"—the only tickets to survival.
That night, six members each harbored their own agenda—some to save the city, some to flee with loved ones, one to betray the rest.
As the final act ended and the countdown hit zero, a chilling truth emerged from the ruins: the five IDs never existed. Haicheng—its love, death, and chaos—was nothing but programmed code running on loop.
Would they remain trapped in this endless cycle? Or would a true soul be born from the cracks of a billion simulations?
The technical core lies in the first-ever theatrical deployment of 4D Gaussian Splatting. Instead of traditional mesh-based volumetric video, Illusory Realm uses a 150-camera spherical array to reconstruct performers as fully explorable data models. These are rendered as countless dynamic semi-transparent Gaussian ellipsoids, forming "digital avatars" that are not flat projections but three-dimensional presences that resonate in real time with live actors.
4D Gaussian Splatting: A cutting-edge dynamic 3D reconstruction technology that captures every nuance of moving subjects with exceptional precision and real-time performance.
Beyond expanding the frame, MR liberates your perspective entirely. Wherever you stand is the best seat. Every audience member wears Apple Vision Pro, stepping into the emotional core of Illusory Realm through 6-DoF free exploration.
Six live actors perform alongside virtual characters. Explore up close in 360°—gaze at their subtle expressions, or reach out to touch floating symbols and scattering petals as they dance around your fingers. What once belonged only to sci-fi cinema now unfolds before your eyes.
