3DcampVR [Online event in VR or on PC]

NOTE: This event is ONLY happening online. See the bottom section for notes about how to attend in VR or on PC.

DISCUSSION LEADERS:
Oliver Dawkins (NCG at NUIM), Gareth Young (V-SENSE at TCD)

LOCATION:
The session will take place in the Dublin Dockland’s open source 3D model imported into AltSpaceVR. To facilitate a comfortable experience the majority of the building models have been
removed due to high polygon counts. Remaining landmarks are:

• Samuel Beckett Bridge
• Convention Centre Dublin
• Central Bank of Ireland

SESSION PLAN:

• Join Session (15 mins)
• Personal Introductions (5 mins)
• Introduction by Oliver Dawkins (5 mins)
  --- PhD work
  --- Building City Dashboards Project
  --- Multimodal Interaction
• Teleport and Talk - Virtual walk with stops for discussion (35 minutes)
  --- Start of the South bank of the Liffey
  --- Cross at the Samuel Beckett bridge toward the CCD
  --- Go along the North bank of the Liffey to the Central bank
• Wrap up (5 – 10 minutes)

TELEPORT & TALK DISCUSSION TOPICS:

1. Visit 3D Scan / 360 model
   a. Science Gallery Workshop
   b. Participatory Sensing
2. Projects: Ground Truth in Digital Dublin: Deep Mapping in Virtual Reality / Engaging Space
   and Place in Mixed Reality

   ii. Multimedia
   b. Why do it in Virtual Reality?
   i. 3D Modelling and Counterfactual Architecture
   c. What would participants want to see in the map?
   [Participants will be encouraged to discuss their experiences of the Dublin Docklands by our asking about the missing sites in the model in AltSpaceVR]
3. Dublin Dockland’s Open Source Model
   a. Have attendees used it before and in what ways?
   b. What specific domains?
   c. What else would they want to do with the model?
   d. What are the challenges?
   i. Data Capture
   ii. Scale / Level of Detail
   iii. 3D Modelling (Damien Meade’s remodelling of the CCD)
   e. Is crowdsourcing a viable solution?

ATTENDING:
This is an informal and casual get-together but we do ask participants to prepare in advance of the session by ensuring they have the latest version of AltspaceVR, an AltspaceVR account, and that they friend the '3Dcamp' account. Access is restricted to friends of 3Dcamp as the event is not open to the general pubic on AltspaceVR.

NOTE: You do not need to have a VR headset to access AltspaceVR - they have PC and Android clients for access in 2D. Feel free to ask any questions through our Meetup discussion forum here or via our social media.
