My friend Michael Naimark is exploring new ideas for virtual reality experiences, in collaboration with Google and other researchers. To discuss this work, we got together with two other colleagues, Steve Gano and Jim McKee -- with whom we worked at the Apple Multimedia Lab in the eighties, pushing the envelope on related questions.
We started with a tour of the historic Sentinel Building in North Beach, home of American Zoetrope -- where Francis Coppola worked on many cinematic masterpieces like The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. We checked out the underground screening room and sound mixing room where some of that work took place, then headed upstairs to Michael and Jimâs studios, for a wonderful conversation about the new VR frontier.
Michael and his colleagues are researching how people are represented in virtual reality. Their first experiment at Googleâs âBig Chairsâ Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
Theyâre also investigating âhyper-imagesâ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both âcredibleâ and âincredibleâ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing âIMU VRâ, a new type of camera that could make it easier for communities to tell their stories in VR. More on this later.
It was great to reconnect with my colleagues and brainstorm these ideas together. It felt like the good old days, and the creative juices were flowing all over again ...

EXPLORE 139 - 12.10.07 Merci, Thank You!!!
Listening to the quiet music of all those leaves,
which shortly will fall and been blown away......
Star of hope for my Hero Husband.... Why?
I sent him off at 6am on Monday morning, for his long drive to France where he works.... Shortly before 9am I saw with shock that he left ALL his keys on his desk.... Sent him an SMS and was ordered to meet him 'back' at the Swiss border to hand over the missing and very important stuff!!!!
I couldn't even offer him to meet up somewhere in France as the week before I handed in ALL my official papers to get a NEW passport and a NEW 'Carte d'Identité'.... thus leaving me high and dry in my native Switzerland!!!
We met over a coffee - at 10am - in St. Cergue and Hero Husband (or should I call him now Very Forgetful Husband?) smiled all over his tired face when he hugged me, saying: I am SO happy to meet you again so soon.... Could YOU scold him when he's being so charming?! Surely not - So I buried my 'lost' morning, took some photos and went back home....
I would like to dedicate this shot to Alex -algo - , my dear Master of Mist & Fog...., but differently to HIS photos; my photo here doesn't show the mist in the background at all, only the bright sunshine (star-shine?) in the foreground. BUT Alex, I did take the photo with YOU in mind... :))))
Now, dear friends, please go and visit his exceptional photostream! Forget about me, HE is the 'nature hero' in my eyes!!!
As always, you might want to see this on Black and Larger!

These three retired friends meet daily to sail their remote-controlled vessels on this local lake. I didn't ask permission to take their picture (that would have ruined the moment) but I know two of the three and will probably hear from them about this posting. I left without them knowing I had been there, they looked so cute and content.

"In exploring we discover. In discovering we see. With seeing we are aware. With awareness there is potential to act without causing disorder."

After visiting an art exhibition at Studio 36 in Exeter yesterday I took a few photos of sculptures in the garden following a torrential downpour.

Affection, the gifted architect is making a draft and beautiful design.
The options and possibilities are endless when we connect and re-align.
Collections of books and documents arise and parade around my cluttered desk. Reworking the math and measurements until I'm convinced these plans are picturesque, like mountains in the Midwest.
Reaction creates the columns dark and, wide like the roads around Fort Lauderdale, the structures begin to take their shape. Before I've designed the public monorail, the turnpike and high-speed motorway connect and enclose the quaint suburban streets.
The airport, the broad suspension bridge, the lake, and the beach, where several rivers meet, compounded from the spreadsheet.
