Play of Future’s Past is a visually focused, 3D character animated short
celebrating interactive media between generations and the manner
they shape our relationships and appearance. Assembled and developed via
single-artist pipeline for holographic, 3D display and traditional cinematic 2D.
The animation is a story of Young Ed as he embraces, in a quiet 1993 living room,
his beloved stereoscopic game system. This is until a visitor much
like him appears from a dystopian future.

This animated short is featured on the Looking Glass 3D display system
along with traditional theatrical 16:9.
