We created a solution that lowers barriers for performers to stream #volumetric video from anywhere for less than $400. The Volumetric Performance Kit includes a #realsense camera and a #raspberry pi computer and can be ready to stream to #mozillahubs in minutes.

Instead of interacting through a grid of webcams, how can we make #Zoom a fun space for personal connection? Watch as Glowbox’s technical artist Holly uses a tool we created to transform one of our daily meetings into a camping road trip. #zoomevents #virtualevents

We’re exploring the ocean floor in #AR by making a viewfinder with our hands! With this intuitive gesture, we’re able to dynamically focus and expand the density of a #photogrammetry #pointcloud by making the rectangle formed by our fingers bigger or smaller.

Take a look through the mini mockup projection scrims we used in 45th Parallel Universe’s Les Boréades performance. Projected video permeated the scrim material, bringing real-time digital renderings of #pointclouds made from Brad Johnson’s #photogrammetry into physical space.
