Virtual Reality (VR)

Immerse Australia and Metaverse Melbourne in partnership with RMIT University, invites you to the **Melbourne XR Industry Meetup** at RMIT’s **Virtual Experiences Laboratory — VXLab**. This special event marks the beginning of a new chapter for what was run as the Melbourne Metaverse community events. Immerse Australia is now running and hosting the Melbourne-based XR industry events previously run as Melbourne Metaverse Meetups. We thank Amanda Parks for the years she organised and hosted Melbourne Metaverse group meetups. As Immerse Australia, we will be creating more opportunities for people working in **virtual reality, augmented reality, extended reality, spatial computing, immersive media, education, research and emerging technology** to connect, share ideas and build capability. This event will be free to attend thanks to our event Partner, RMIT and will celebrate the convergence of the Melbourne Metaverse community with Immerse Australia’s national XR network. We warmly invite past members of the Melbourne Metaverse group, Immerse Australia members, students, researchers, developers, creators, educators, startups and industry professionals to attend. You’ll hear from leading researchers and practitioners, see demonstrations of emerging XR technologies, learn about upcoming industry activity, and connect with others shaping the future of immersive technology in Melbourne and across Australia. For a list of speakers, activities and location details go to the Immerse Australia booking page below. Places are limited for this event, so early registration is recommended. https://events.humanitix.com/melbourne-xr-industry-meetup-rmit-vxlab-x-immerse-australia

Join us every **Wednesday at 5 PM** at the Emporium food court (located behind Grill’d Burger Restaurant in the CBD, not near Melbourne Station) for a dynamic networking event tailored for filmmakers, actors, and film enthusiasts. Afterward, we continue the evening with Happy Hour drinks at a nearby bar and a chance to grab dinner together. Understanding that schedules vary, feel free to join at any time that suits you. Rain or shine, our community has gathered every week for the past year, maintaining a consistent and welcoming environment. Our group has grown remarkably, with a **weekly turnout of over 50 participants**, blending newcomers with regulars to create a vibrant, diverse community. Feel free to bring friends interested in filmmaking; it’s a great way to introduce new faces to our expanding network. Whether you’re a writer, actor, animator, or independent filmmaker, come share your experiences, discuss current projects, or chat about favorite films. This event fosters connections among like-minded individuals, encourages friendships, and opens doors for collaboration. At **7 PM**, we move to The Carlton Club, a five-minute walk away, where we continue networking in a more formal rooftop setting over drinks and food. This change of venue offers an ideal environment to keep conversations flowing. **RSVP** to help us gauge attendance and become part of a growing network of film professionals and enthusiasts. Though the event begins in the afternoon, the relationships you build here can last well into the night and beyond. **What to Expect:** *Our Wednesday meetup is primarily a large networking event for industry professionals. There’s no set theme, workshop, or speaker. It’s a relaxed gathering where filmmakers, actors, and creatives can connect, discuss projects, share needs, and learn from each other. Conversations flow freely around the table, fostering an environment of growth and camaraderie. Beyond Wednesdays, we also host exclusive events such as table reads, cinematography workshops with Panasonic, member screenings, and more. Each week brings fresh dialogues—some participants discuss their weekend shoots, others exchange insights with seasoned producers and directors, and a few engage in filmmaking exercises. It’s a space designed for creative engagement without strict structure or formal oversight.* *Note: Our community emphasizes collaboration, friendship, and goodwill rather than promotional activities. If you wish to promote a workshop, course, screening, or similar event, please contact the organizers first. Promotional privileges are generally reserved for trusted, long-standing members.

Everyone says “use AI.” But use it for what? To save time? Build faster? Win clients? Automate admin? Prototype ideas? Replace five subscriptions, three freelancers, and the cursed spreadsheet your business secretly runs on? That is exactly what this group is for. Every workshop will cover different topics, different demos and discussions. We’re a free Melbourne AI community for employees, business owners, entrepreneurs, builders, freelancers, and curious professionals who want to understand what modern AI can actually do, without drowning in hype, jargon, or LinkedIn slop. Most people know AI matters. The problem is they still don’t know where it fits. They see ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, agents, automation, image tools, video tools, coding tools, open-source models, and suddenly “use AI” feels less like advice and more like being handed a cockpit manual while the plane is already taking off. This group is designed to fix that. We focus on the practical side of modern AI: how to use it in your business, your job, your startup, your client work, your marketing, your research, your operations, your coding, your content, and your everyday life. For business owners and entrepreneurs, we cover how AI can help you automate repetitive work, build internal tools, improve sales and marketing, create content, research markets, prototype products, analyse documents, generate images and video, improve customer workflows, and move faster without hiring a giant team. For employees and professionals, we show how AI can help you write better, think faster, automate boring tasks, learn new tools, build reports, analyse information, code simple apps, prepare presentations, manage research, and become the person at work who actually knows what is going on. We cover the latest tools from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Microsoft, Grok, OpenClaw, and leading open-source models, including ChatGPT, Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, Copilot, Qwen, Gemma, Kimi, GLM, Veo, Suno, GPT-Image, and more. Our sessions are live, practical, and demonstration-driven. No abstract lectures. No mystical “AI transformation” fog machine. We walk through real workflows in real time so you can see exactly how these tools work (and how we use them in business), where they are useful, where they are not, and how to start applying them immediately. The sessions are led by people with backgrounds in AI, computer science, engineering, product building, and entrepreneurship. We break down cutting-edge tools in a way that is clear, exciting, and easy to follow, whether you are a complete beginner, a business owner trying to stay ahead, or a technical person looking for sharper workflows. The goal is simple: help you stop wasting time, understand the frontier, and leave with practical AI skills you can use immediately in your work, business, projects, and everyday life.

The optimum computing machine is a subject many of us have studied. If you were building one how would you design it? First the computer should be able to compute with perfect accuracy on any problem in the universe and produce answers which were always and invariably right. Second the computer would have to be swift, working much more quickly than the problem and process could be vocally articulated. Third the computer would have to be able to handle large numbers of variables and large numbers of problems simultaneously. Forth, the computer would have to be able to evaluate its own data and there would have to remain available within it not only a record of its former conclusions but the evaluations leading to those conclusions. Fifth, the computer would have to be served by a memory bank of nearly infinite capacity and would have to be available to the analytical portion of the computer in the smallest fractions of a second. Sixth, the computer would have to be able to rearrange former conclusions or alter them in the light of new experience. Seventh, the computer would need no exterior director, but would be entirely self determined about its programing guided only by the necessity –value of the solution which it itself would determine. Eight the computer should be self servicing and self arming against present and future damage and would be able to estimate future damage. Ninth the computer should be served by perception by which it could determine necessity –value. Tenth ,the memory bank should store perceptions as perceived ,consecutive with time received with the smallest possible time divisions between perception .It would then store in color-Visio (moving),tone audio (flowing),odor ,tactile and self sensation ,all of them cross –coordinated . Eleventh, for the purposes of solutions, it would have to be able to create new situations and imagine new perceptions hitherto not perceived and should be able to conceive these to itself in terms of tone –audio ,color-visio ,odor, tactile, and self sensation –and should be able to file anything so conceived as imagined ,labeled “memories” Twelfth, the entire machine should be portable. It might be somewhat astonishing at first to conceive such a computer .But the fact is, the machine is in existence .There are billions of them in use today and many ,many more billions have been made and used in the past . In fact you’ve got one .for we are dealing with the human mind. L.RON .HUBBARD Do you want to learn how the mind works?Then do not miss this meetup. RSVP now !!

NFT's are here to stay folks! This is a group for like minded people interested in understanding, leveraging, using, creating for, profiting from, trading too i suppose, NFT's.. everything around them, complexity, fear and exploits, best practices and more. **PLUS** This group will talk AI ART tools, techniques, artists, video, audio, prototypes and more in the AI assisted production space- ART specifically, but we can get into any aspect of some of the cooler things happening in AI in general.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.
