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 ...

The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the State of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.
A global power city, New York City exerts a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world.
Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of New York State. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898.
New York City traces its origin to its 1624 founding in Lower Manhattan as a trading post by colonists of the Dutch Republic and was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790.

We spent a week in New York City in May, aiming to explore the city beyond Manhattan and enjoy vibrant moods of this never-sleeping megalopolis.
Walking is arguably the best way to explore the city, and combined with large subway system one may spend weeks still not having visited and seen everything.
this is a typical makeshift street food stall near a school in metro manila. popular among students because of its cheap fast food. this particular stall sells fried chicken bits skewered on sticks. each chicken stick cost around 10 us cents. due to rise of sickness, involving lack of hygiene and sanitary practice among these transient businesses, the government continuously monitors and tries to regulate these forms of establishments
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.

This statue of explorer Leif Eriksson stands in front of the Hallgrímskirkja, the church in Reykjavik. It seemed that only the lights to the left of the church and to the right of the statue were working, which made choosing a composition pretty straight forward.

Walking home at 4:30am after a pleasant but unsuccessful attempt at photographing shooting stars, I cam across several pieces of heavy Earth moving equipment illuminated by a streetlight (They are doing sewer work in my area) so I snapped a few shots. I like the eerie feel of it. I have a couple other shots of this stuff on my Facebook photography page: www.facebook.com/pages/Brad-Worrell-Photography/202199629...

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.
