Details

Zuk and Meta have no imagination when it comes to the possibilities for representing ourselves in virtual reality spaces! In this workshop we’ll be creating our own virtual digital avatars, by sculpting them out of plasticine. Feel free to get adventurous / imaginative, and we’ll 3D scan them, rig them with a skeleton, and let you pilot them in VR in front of a virtual mirror. NOTE: A personal smartphone and laptop are needed to participate in the workshop activities. On your smartphone, please install the free Polycam app (Android or iOS) and create a free account. On your laptop, please install Blender (free). Please ensure you have an Adobe account (free) for the purpose of logging into Mixamo.com. PRESENTER: Dr Josh Harle, Tactical Space Lab
