As a continuation to my last post, I have been working from time to time on the character I had mentioned there. So, I guess I’ll talk a little bit more about my workflow as of recently. I was using Zbrush to not only texture the character, but also to unwrap its UVs using Zbrush’s

Hi everyone! I am officially back from Japan and suffering a bit of jet lag, but treading forward. If you caught a glimpse of the post I made to the blog during my trip, you will have seen that Zhu Wang and I have been working to incorporate AR, Ipads and Rokoko Suit functionality. This

Hello from Japan! Been a bit busy, but wanted to show you guys a little sneak peek of some thing I’ve been working on with a person in a Rokoko Suit puppeteering a character in AR on the iPad!

Recently, I haven’t been focused on one specific project here at the lab, and have been dabbling in a couple of things. I have officially moved my Mammoth Simulator over to iPads using the Google Anchors that I spoke about in my previous article. On the side, I have been doing some 3D modeling and

Since I have been back from SIGGRAPH, we have been talking about ways we can make multiuser AR experiences that are readily available to the public without the need for AR specific equipment. Recently, I have started some testing with tablets, specifically iPads. Since iPads are commonplace when compared to XR headsets, this increases our

Two weeks ago today the lab began its ten day visit in Vancouver for the SIGGRAPH 2018 convention. As you can see from the posts that have been saturating this page, we came out of it with may new experiences to share with all you who are reading.  For about five days, I was behind

  As I am writing this, our lab is preparing to fly to Vancouver in a couple of hours. Actually, I am sitting in an Uber on the way to the airport as we speak. We have all been working so hard and hope that anyone who attends SIGGRAPH will stop by to view our

The mammoths are back in action, and so am I, seeing as I am back at FRL from my brief vacation. A lot has been going on since I came back. I have been working with some others at the lab on creating a small world superimposed in our own. This world has decidedly sprouted

I believe that Augmented Reality (AR) has the capability of breaking the glass screen barrier between us, the audience, and virtual characters. In animated movies or video games, we are either interacting with or simply viewing the character from behind a screen. I am excited to see what content creators will come up with once

Unfortunately, our lab is currently experiencing a mammoth infestation. Once, I walked into the office the place was littered with these critters. I could find a way to get rid of them, but seeing as they are so cute (and were supposedly extinct) I can’t find the heart to do such a thing. Can anyone
