This blog is an update of the full body tracking project. In my last blog, I introduced a full body tracking solution including finger tracking with the hardware combo of Rokoko SmartSuit and LeapMotion. In the past two weeks, Ken and I talked about the possibilities of adapting this mocap solution in our Siggraph show.

Recently I got a chance to do something with a fisheye camera. Long time ago when I was trying to make some videos seen through ARGlasses, I built an AR-Rift based on the first version of Oculus Rift, following the instructions of AR-Rift online. I bet we can still find that early version of video

In the previous post, I argued that XR experiences cannot exist without sound, and more precisely – 3D sound. Today I will give a brief introduction to 3D sound. Imagine yourself standing in the forest. You hear a gentle noise coming from the tree leaves above you, and a singing bird on the branch beside

Here I will go through step by step my process for making a piece of digital art. This is a very simple example, using a screenshot from CAVE in Unity as a base for me to paint over in Adobe Photoshop.   Here is the base image screenshot out of Unity. The image can come

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

If you don’t know me just yet, I’m Susan, the line producer intern for the CAVE project. I’ve only been working here since May, but I can honestly say, everyone in this lab feels like family to me. So what makes this team so much more special than all the other teams that I’ve been a

I left off in part 1 of this series asking why it’s easier to connect with some digital characters more than others. One aspect of the answer to this question is believability. Some people would equate believability with realism, but I would argue that the two are very different. So what exactly is the difference
