By using a Sony 3D HD handycam with polarizing filters in front of each lens, we were able to capture the full 3D experience of our StarCAVE VR installation.

San Francisco presentations went great & some very positive new work may come from it – keeping my fingers crossed for a chance to go to the Tokyo International Film Fest.

Then SIGGRAPH in Vancouver was good. Our Vroom installation was well received and I even brought my avatar to the show (see photo below). The overall attendance & exhibition floor continues to shrink, but the Studio was larger than ever & there was some good work to be experienced in the Art Gallery & eTech.

And finally I just came back from Prague where I gave a presentation at CIANT‘s Transistor S3D workshop. This was my second visit to Prague after almost 10 years & it was great to experience it with CIANT to witness the amazing transformation of a historic world capital into a modern techno-metropolis.

I also sent my avatar to Philadelphia for the Distributed Collectives. This was my first show with the Manifest.AR international artist collective. There was a lot of great work & conversations about augmented reality.

A certain Force with the initials G.L. even stopped by to check it out. All reports are positive so far & we await further instructions from central command to proceed. General information can be found here.

It was great that so many people there were already familiar with ARGs & we had some great conversations on how to use locative AR to create an ARG.
