SXSW 2019 — Producing Live Performance in VR
A sold-out workshop on March 13, 2019
It’s time! Our NYC Alive in Plasticland Team (Kiira Benzing, Alex Coulombe, David Gochfeld, Kevin Laibson) has arrived in Austin, TX. We are joined with technical support by our colleagues Dario Laverde (HTC Vive) and Mark Sternberg (REVRIE). We’re rolling up our sleeves, and with VR headsets, ready to share our practice with other creators.
THE DEETS!
Our Workshop will be held on:
March 13th from 4:00–6:00 PM
Westin Austin Downtown
310 E 5th St, Austin, TX
https://schedule.sxsw.com/2019/events/PP93017
You need to RSVP: through the SXSW site.
If you can’t get on the list, you can standby, in a real world line, if you are here in Austin.
What We’ll Really Be Doing
We will be sharing best practices, tips on how to get started, explanations of 6-DoF and how we calibrate our actors in social VR.
Kevin Laibson will be doing live demonstrations (as a performer).
So You Wanna Act in VR?
For those of you wishfully thinking you would have to join a fancy Graduate School program to put learn how to act in VR — the opportunity has arrived for a select few to do this right here in Austin.
During our workshop we will be inviting audience members up to join Kevin in trackers and headsets to learn some basic exercises that we do with our NY actors.
