Our journey today
● Introduction● Interactivity & 3D● Immersion with Virtual Reality
Introduction
Sharing information
Sharing impressions
Sharing moments
Sharing not just a single glimpse
Sharing what’s in our head
So far
● all of this was static● two-dimensional content● external perspective
On the web
On the web
Images
Videos
3D & Interactivity
3D Examples
1. NYT article: The Dawn Wall2. Google Maps3. Teleports4. d3-3d experiment5. Globe demo
New ways to interact with content
LEAPMotion - £55Demo
Myo - $199Video
Recap
● better spatial representation of data● more flexibility in layout and visible content● new interaction modes
So far
● we covered static and dynamic content● two-dimensional and three-dimensional● still only external perspective
Immersionwith Virtual Reality
Giving people superpowers... the computer is the most remarkable tool that we've ever come up with.
It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds
Now what if...
...we could bring people into the scene?
...make them interact in a natural way?
...deliver truly emotional experiences?
When sharing a moment
wouldn’t it be amazing to be in it?
