December is home to two of my favorite geek events, the Building Virtual Worlds (BVW) show at CMU and the ITP Winter Show 2010 at NYU. I'll be posting updates from both events as they happen.
The BVW show is up first, this Saturday in Pittsburgh. My sources tell me that there are some pretty compelling experiences this year, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the students have created. Sydney with be with me, and I'll be posting her reactions to the show as well. Usually they open up the Entertainment Technology Center labs as well, so I'm really looking forward to seeing everything they've created this year.
If you're in Pittsburgh, you should try to see the show. They're doing the performance twice and the 1 PM is open to the public. It's well worth the time! And if you're going to at the show, make sure you say hi to Sydney & me.
On Saturday, December 11, 2010 at Purnell Center's Chosky Theater, we at the Entertainment Technology Center will present the annual Building Virtual Worlds Show. From virtual reality to audience interaction and everything imaginable in between, this live showcase of the most impressive student work from the semester is truly a must-see event! Over the course of this semester, BVW students are collaborating in four-person interdisciplinary teams to create a series of virtual worlds, each of which must be completed within a one to three week time period. We look forward to sharing a variety of these worlds with you. The BVW Show is open to the public at 1 pm EST. Hotel and and travel information can be found here
