AS ABOVE SO BELOW
“THE ORACLE” Annabellee was tapped by Microsoft’s Altspace VR to create, produce and provide intimate one-on-one experiences for its audience. Annabellee is the Oracle in Altspace. Bringing people together that are worlds apart. Through the eyes of the Oracle, all is possible in Altspace.
Annabellee is a multidimensional experience powered by AltSpaceVR that guides the user through different worlds in which they are the lead character. As their journey continues through the 22 paths of the Tree of Life, they discover the Major Arcana Cards. Starting out as The Fool, becoming The Magician is only a matter of time. During their journey, the user experiences the tale across immersive theater, virtual reality, 360, scripted series, and ultimately AI, harnessing the latest technologies available.

A Mystical Experience in a Hemlock Grove
It began as VR gameplay with a soothsayer and ended with interactive theater in a remote cabin. Every moment of The Annabellee Experience was bizarre in all the best ways. Annabellea’s followers assisted me in setting up the VR headset, where I first met Annabellee in digital form to receive my tarot card reading. Next, they made me a bracelet, handed me a card, and told me I’d be contacted later with additional instructions. Fast forward to me driving up Snoqualmie Pass in search of a rustic cabin, where I met Annabelle in the flesh. Together, we scavenged the woods for the ingredients to my potion, which is keeping me safe from the dark forces to this very day. The North Bend Film Fest crew truly supplied an “experience” that I won’t forget.
