Halo Description

Like falling face (and stomach) first into a futuristic fantasy videogame, Halo is an immersive, multi-sensory dining experience that challenges the concept of what a traditional restaurant is, located on the AI 7th floor plaza of the Phoenix Nest Mall in Xujiahui. 

Upon entry, guests are greeted by interactive 3D digital art installations by collaboration partner Output Lab and Encor Studio that express “the eternal extension of boundless space” and the idea of “peeling back the physical world to explore unknown dimensions, time and space.”

It’s a whole sci-fi space odyssey meets cyberpunk art vibe. 

Pass through the spaceship-esque sliding doors to enter the 88-person dining room, outfitted with real-time laser projectors, that plunges the audience (aka diners) into a hyperspace audio-visual experience that subverts the static method of viewing artwork.

Sound familiar? That’s because it is. Halo’s digital content partner, Output, also worked with teamLab in the past, and drew on the same ethos for collating visual art from artists across the globe.

The aim is to provide guests with an immersive performance using multi sensorial high-end technology, paired with equally imaginative food and drink, like a less intimate, more approachable version of world-renowned Ultraviolet.
