The Washington DC Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH and the Torpedo Factory Art Center present Rob Cloutier, owner of Digital History Studios.
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality have the ability to enhance the education experience for museum visitors. Mr. Cloutier will focus on his involvement with the Newseum’s Berlin Wall Experience VR exhibit for the HTC Vive and how it has improved visitor engagement. He will present on key concepts for museum exhibit design, logistics of VR technology within exhibit space, as well as how to design VR experiences that are intuitive for visitors who have never tried the technology before. Mr. Cloutier will cover several issues of incorporating VR technology in large public venues and how they may be incorporated into an exhibit space.
Please join us on Thursday, March 21, 2019 from 7pm to 9pm to explore the changing world of CGI.
