CLOUDS is a great record of a moment in history of digital art, pre-NFTs. Interviews with dozens of lovely, brilliant people trying to figure things out. Very thankful to the CLOUDS team for putting this ambitious project together. cloudsdocumentary.com/

I did a deep dive interview with one of the co-directors @obviousjim back in 2016 that gives a lot more context to their CLOUDS documentary project. I discovered it after buying my DK1 in 2014 and I found the whole project to be deeply inspiring. voicesofvr.com/407-cracking-…

2023 was amazing! We did some incredible Mixed Reality research at our residency at @VIPStudioUoN at @UniofNottingham. We also created VR artwork Tableau Vivant at @lborouniarts. Both projects contained some volumetric capture, 3D scanning and plenty of performance and VR!

With partners @Meta & @Depthkit we fueled a captivating journey for 8 artists who participated in the African XR Realities Lab this year. Cutting-edge tools such as LiDAR, photogrammetry, volumetric capture, and Unity, empowered creators to redefine storytelling. #XR #AR

#Heatwaves in #Texas are scary but unfortunately not surprising. Sterling City, Texas gets a Lucid Grade of D with extreme heat grade D- and #wildfire grade F. It will hit life threatening heat index of 110+ degrees F this weekend. Stay safe folks.

A literal memory machine right here — @dreamcastar filming with @scatterco @Depthkit many moons ago as we were gearing up for launch. (Seen here sending volumetric videos to each other between time zones, a video that didn't make the final cut.)

Here’s a projection of the #fire #smoke plumes coming out of the #CanadianWildfires over the next 2 days, via firesmoke.ca. Watch the brown spots. It looks like #Ottawa #Cleveland and #DC are going to be hit hardest with super high air quality index 250+. 😣😷
