Sketching in VR using WebVR and Aframe 😎 😎 😎

2017 is going to be year zero for VR and volumetric experiences. In the long run, this will change your work, no matter what your discipline. But in the short term, sketching in VR is still hard. It shouldn't be.

This 2-hour workshop will introduce you to the basics of thinking in 3D, give you a brief overview of the current VR device landscape, and – most importantly – provide you with a process for rapidly testing your VR ideas using paper, a camera, and Mozilla's Aframe library.

Web experience is a must, but VR experience is optional. You'll provide the laptop, smartphone (at least Android 6.0+, or an iPhone 5 or later), Cardboard viewer, a willingness to write code with a beginners mind.
