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 Jim’s 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 Google’s “Big Chairs” Park led to some helpful guidelines on how to film people for VR, by using different camera angles and distances.
They’re also investigating ‘hyper-images’ that resemble a group of people, but that are shot at different times and composited together to create both ‘credible’ and ‘incredible’ pictures. To enable more experiments like these, Michael is developing ‘IMU VR’, 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 ...

Microsoft in January 2015 announced their Hololens Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality glasses. These glasses will allow people to break out of the usual way of interacting with technology. Instead of being confined to sitting in front of your computer the hololens seems to be able to let you...

Don't interrupt the sorrow
Darn right
In flames our prophet witches
Be polite
A room full of glasses
He says "Your notches, liberation doll"
And he chains me with that serpent
To that Ethiopian wall
Anima rising
Queen of Queens
Wash my guilt of Eden
Wash and balance me
Anima rising
Uprising in me tonight
She's a vengeful little goddess
With an ancient crown to fight
The Virtual Paintout is in Greenland this month so I tried my hand at icebergs this afternoon. Oil pastels drawing on this reference photo in Google Street View: maps.google.com/maps?ll=65.89268,-37.792969&spn=6.346...
Just a little pick on The Virtual Garden of Time by Carolina Costa, Ramon Freitas, David Soares, Pedro Fernandes, João Cachada, Catarina Melo, Joana Costa, Cláudia Pinto, Joana Pereira, Catarina Vieira, Daniela Padrao, Miguel Alexandre, Joana Nascimento and CapCat Ragu. Still under construction!
The Virtual Garden of Time is a virtual island where can walk through the seasons, months and hours of the day. We can migrate with the birds, swim in rivers, wander the forests. We can choose to be Winter, Spring, Fall or Summer …
This project was designed by a teacher and students of the Art Multimedia Program of the Viseu Polytechnic Institute – School of Education, in a collaborative virtual environment that allows its users to create their own worlds and avatars.
This is a collaborative virtual environment, designed in the Craft World, a OpenSimulator platform that allows us to create our own worlds and avatars. The entire project and each of its parts was discussed by the group remotely, using either the Craft World or a Facebook group to exchange ideas and inspirations.
Now we ask our visitors to create new things from our creations! Maybe virtual photographs, machinima or even derived avatars from the ones we offer, open to modification, copying and sharing. This garden is just a plateau in the creative flow of the metaverse.
This will be a part of JARDINS EFÉMEROS (JE; Ephemeral Gardens), a multidisciplinary cultural happening organized in the town of Viseu, Portugal.

If you are interested in Virtual Reality you will find the Teslasuit Project on Kickstarter very interesting. One of the biggest obstacles with Virtual Reality is that there is no resistance and feedback while you are playing a game or immersed in a Virtual Reality experience. The Teslasuit...

Okay....I had so much fun!!! Have any of you ever done this virtual reality thing? It's so strange but fun!!!! LOL My oldest son's wife had her birthday party yesterday and we went to Ronan, MT. and did this at her plea!! You put these goggles on and go into these enormous situations and find things that are hidden....there are clues!! You really feel like the scene is real!!!!! Us grand folks even enjoyed it!!!! Aughhhh!! I got to fight a dragon!! 😮 Those are my 2 grandsons in front row...they're 13. It's suppose to be 66 this coming Wednesday!!! Yay!! Her parents are in this image.
There are times when the feelings of femininity and womanhood come over me like an irresistable wave. I want to shout out to the world how wonderful I feel. But I also realize, due to circumstances, that I must restict my desires to a small, albeit delicate, sphere.
We did it! All our little dog walk miles from October to February have added up to 268 miles- the Pennine Way virtual challenge. Thank you Dougal for getting me out and about, you’re one of the best things to come out of 2020 😊.
It’s also good to know a tree has been planted up in the Clyde Muirsheil National Park, Scotland, near the Camphill Reservoir. When I signed up for the End to End Virtual challenge I opted for a tree to be planted rather than receiving a t shirt.

Thank you for choosing my photo for the group's cover. It is an honor and pleasure to have it selected.
3D modelling and rendering software is often demostrated using reflective surfaces and chessboard-pattern backgrounds (they look effective in distorted reflections rendered on cyllinders, cones or spheres). Those images are so familiar, now almost a synonim of '3D'...
And then I came across a real-life situation (chrome waste bin on a marble bathroom floor) that strikingly resembles that virtual reality. Except there's nothing digital and it's... real :)
Another zoom in shot at Pinggan Village, slightly earlier than the previous one. I managed to get a 15secs exposure in this one while some of the houses still have their light on.
Other than shooting landscape, I like gaming as well. Somehow I feel this really looks like those CG scene in game.
