Albert Muses Publicly on the Subject of Augmented Reality

/

A few weeks ago Daniel Cooper of Ball State University invited me to take part in a study he was conducting on the topic of Augmented Reality. He emailed over a list of very smart questions. Instead of writing out a response, I figured I'd post a video of my response. Here it is - me rambling on about some interesting topics from information design, 3d spaces, architecture, narrative, theater, etc...

Enjoy!

I Need Your Help! Spatial Computing III

/

Hey Everyone - So it's been a while since I visited Spatial Computing. Spatial Computing 1 and 2 were packed with some good interesting ideas, and video number 3 is coming down the pipeline.

But I want 3 to be better. I don't want it to be a result of rushed, work-night render sessions, and I don't want it to take another six months to complete. I want to direct my full attention to this project to make it as awesome as it deserves to be.

And I need your help.

Whether it be pledging a couple of bucks or just spreading the word, any help I can get will get me one step closer to hunkering down and focusing in on the project that is Spatial Computing III.

To show your support, please visit my Kickstarter campaign, where you can pledge a donation and learn more about the project. There are also tools on that page that you can use to introduce Spatial Computing to your friends.

Thanks for your support everybody!

Walking Thoughts Podcast

/

I am a thinker. I got a brain that does a lot of traversing. Some trains of thought carry me off to new undiscovered worlds, while others run me full speed off of cliffs. Lately I've been recording my thoughts in 10 - 15 minute audio clips. I cover things like art, video games, dance, work, ego, and other weird observations on my daily life.

So if you're interested in my brain's temperature for any given day, if you've ever wondered what it's like to be me, visit the podcast to find out!

Creating the Future!

/

Lumarca (one of the child projects of the Wiremap), had a great showing at Maker Faire, New York, this past weekend. The project got a lot of positive attention, including 3 Blue Ribbons (I guess each editor of the magazine gets to give out one). The project also claimed the "Red Bull Create the Future" award. It totally took Matt and me by surprise when a couple of Red Bull representatives came by to shake our hands. What exactly is this prize? A MakerBot!

We're taking the momentum that Maker Faire has generated and using it to fuel our fundraising campaign. The funds we raise will go towards developing a DIY kit and doing research and development for bigger and better volumetric renderers.

Please consider donating if you want to see a new tomorrow for volumetric renderers:
