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 ...

I ruined my reflection glass :'( but small sacrifices must be made!
Wondering how to take highspeed photos? The technique used for this kind of images is described in lesson 3 (freeze the motion with your flash) of my highspeed photography 101.
In Lektion 3 (Einfrieren von Bewegung mit dem Blitz) erklaere ich, wie man solche Highspeed Bilder erstellt.

I don't know which one I'm keeping,
I had like twenty to pick from and I hate that because I like all of them haha.
I'd like to apologize about how bright it is in the back,
and if your eyes are bleeding again I'm very sorry.
SO hahaha sorry but today I was falling in my bathroom and I grabbed on to the towel rack and pulled one side of it out of the wall... haha, I mean really now... it's like when I'm trying to save myself from dying I break something else,
my mom was like "WHY IS THIS FUNNY TO YOU?! I CAN'T FIX THIS."
Oh goodness.
OH and I have something on my sensor,
so when my dad comes home I gotta get that off,
I'm too afraid to do it myself,
and Regina Spektor's new CD is so amazing,
my friend told me about it and thank goodness she did because I've been listening to it non-stop.

I just want to say that I think half my flickr is pictures of me,
uhm I'm really sorry about that haha,
I just feel like self-portrait photography is sometimes easiest for me.
I hope you don't mind.

This shot was taken using a nikon D80 with a Sigma 105 macro lens. I also used an off camera SB 600 triggered from the on camera flash set to 1/32 to fill under the wing on the right of the photo. . Manual exposure, ISO 100

- La llum no era gaire bona degut als núvols, peró al creuar el pont vaig veure que el reflexe al riu i, aquesta vegada sí, vaig baixar del cotxe per poder fer la foto des del pont. La llàstima és que no ha quedat gaire il.luminada, peró m´agrada com es reflexen la casa i l´arbre :-)
- La luz no era muy buena debido a las nubes, pero al cruzar el puente vi el reflejo en el rio y, esta vez sí, bajé del coche para hacer la foto desde el puente. La lástima es que no ha quedado bien iluminada, pero me gusta como se reflejan la casa y el árbol :-)

The 2015 Explore@NASAGoddard event, on Sept. 26, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope. Investigating everything from black holes to planets around other stars, Hubble has ushered in a new chapter of humanity’s exploration of the universe, and the venerable telescope continues to answer some of the most compelling astronomical questions of our time.
Additionally, all areas of Goddard’s research – Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, astrophysics, and engineering and technology – were presented, as each discipline plays a critical part in NASA's ongoing journey to reach new heights, reveal the unknown and advance scientific understanding for the benefit of humankind.

Explore # 127, December 31, 2008. My 25th of the year. Thanks to my flickr friends:)
This shot revisits some of my personal favourites. The look down, the footprints in fresh snow and the snow covered bushes. The shadows are an additional bonus! Ive changed this to black and white by draining the colour. Not sure if there is a better way to do this change:)
