AR/VR IRL MEETING

We're used to shifting industies, creative, trends, and budgets. What happens when the forms themselves shift? This month we have two amazing presenters who will share their experience building projects as varied as 3D printing, projection mapping, interactive media, virtual reality, projection mapping, 360 video, even hardware design! One is a fine artist obsessed with immersive audiovisual experiences that’s embodied both in physical and digital spaces, and the other has founded award-winning interactive studios and tech. Don't miss this one!
