VR at Your Service
Details
VR at Your Service explores the shift of virtual reality from a novelty into a powerful professional tool. By using spatial technology, creators can bypass the technical headaches of traditional software and develop ideas at the speed of thought. Instead of being stuck behind a flat screen, VR allows you to step directly into your work, making the design process natural and immediate.
This technology lets you work at a 1:1 scale, where you can feel the true size of a space and move objects by hand. Beyond creation, VR acts as a vital tool that enables researchers to "test drive" environments and conduct their studies before anything is built.
For this event, we are thrilled to invite Andy Baker and Dr Rafaella Siagkri!
Andy Baker
As a lead developer of Open Brush—the successor to Google’s Tilt Brush—Andy is a pioneer in spatial creativity. He will share his experience evolving this world-class tool and his mission to make 3D creation more intuitive for every artist.
He will also introduce Icosa Gallery, his latest project focused on preserving and presenting VR illustrations in their native form. To conclude, Andy will discuss his broader vision for the future of VR technology.
Dr Rafaella Siagkri
As a Lecturer in Interior Architecture, Dr Siagkri uses virtual reality (VR) to study the relationship between architecture and cinema. Rather than constructing physical structures, she employs immersive simulation to restore and reinterpret architectural expressionist film sets, which have played a significant role in the history of both cinema and architecture.
Following her talk, attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to step inside her simulations to experience this research.
