OOOii [OPEN INTERFACE]

10.27.2009

ISMAR (International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality) is the premier international meeting place for the Mixed and Augmented Reality research community, which is now celebrating its 10th aniversary. This year, Kent Demaine was asked to speak on behalf of OOOii on our approach to next generation content in the VR/AR space. The challenging nature of this new evolving space has led OOOii to structure the company as a hybrid of VFX, VR, Interactive, and Gaming companies. This methodology allows us to build content created with emerging technology while maintaining aesthetic quality and user experience. This discussion went into the different advantages and lessons learned by these industries, which can now be applied to creating this new category of content.

OOOii has been selected to showcase its technologies at the upcoming immersive conference. A groundbreaking international conference, 5D: The Future of Immersive Design explores the profound impact of rapidly changing technologies in design for narrative media — film and television, game design, animation, interactive media, architecture and environment — for artists, designers, scholars, educators, and students. The event, already stirring great interest, will be attended by over 500 award-winning production designers and art directors, visual and digital artists, designers, architects, animators, as well as leading academics in these fields and their students: the future of the industry. GET IMMERSED!!

As a means of introducing the members of the Directors Guild to immersive technologies, the designers at OOOii developed a multi-touch table that would head track the viewer allowing full 3D interaction with the holographic content. The intent was to utilize multiple immersive technologies simultaneously to create an experience in which the technology becomes transparent and intuition governs exploration, a recurring theme in most successful immersive design.
