K. Guillory (aka Aemeth) has been writing The Metaculture online magazine since August 13, 2021 with over 70 articles covering the latest trends in arts and culture on social VR platforms such as VRChat. She focuses primarily on the live music and performance scenes, but also has been tracking the historical evolution of the underground clubbing scene in VRChat, virtual fashion, as well as many other artistic trends from painting in VR to film in VR to VTubers. In fact, I mention some of her intrepid work in my own interviews with Starheart on VTubing and BabyBonito on painting within VR as her previous interviews on these topics and coverage on these trends came up they were continuing to evolve and be featured at the Raindance Immersive festival in 2023 and 2024. Guillory has been ahead of the curve in terms of tracking some of these trends of virtual culture before they get picked up and highlighted by other curators and virtual cultural critics and essayists. Guillory was inspired to start The Metaculture magazine from a conversation that I had with her on July 24, 2021 at Nanotopia's Mycelia exhibition in VRChat as a part of the AMAZE festival. She was sharing with me all sorts of insider tips on the underground dancing and clubbing scene with VRChat, and so I suggested to her that she find a way to archive, document, and publicly share more of this oral history knowledge as most of the information about the nuances of these hidden corners of the VRChat cultural scene were scattered across disparate Discord servers, ephemeral Twitter announcements, as well as insider community knowledge from knowing someone who knew someone about it all. Starting in 2021 and 2022 there started to be more and more YouTubers creating documentaries about VRChat's underground clubbing scene trend with Straszfilms' The Virtual Underground: An Introduction to VRChat's Rave Scene published May 5, 2021. Then Phia's The EXPLOSIVE Rise of VRChat Clubbing published her take on it on her The Virtual Reality Show channel on Mar 12, 2022. Then I actually conducted this interview with Guillory featured here on March 25, 2022 right as the zeitgeist about the clubbing scene started to explode. I knew she was tracking it very closely, and I wanted to get a bit of an insider's perspective on it all. Then a few weeks after I recorded my chat with Guillory, PBS Voices published their I Went Clubbing in Virtual Reality: Raves of VRChat on Apr 6, 2022, and then Guillory/Aemeth was featured as a subject matter expert on Resident Advisors' piece The music, venues and creators driving virtual reality clubbing that was featured on Sep 28, 2022. You might able to detect some of the parallels of how she tells me the story in this interview as well as some of the points that she also makes within the Resident Advisor video. The Origin Story of VRChat In the process of producing this episode, I came across this documentary by YouTuber Twice about the History of VRChat 2014-2022 that does a really great job of establishing the major platform developments, UI/UX changes, as well as turning points in the cultural evolution of the VRChat platform. Twice first came across VRChat in 2017, and so his video aggregates some archival footage before he started creating his own content, but for everything after 2017 he weaves his own personal history, footage, and memories on the platform to help flesh out the broader story of VRChat as a platform. This documentary inspired me to go on my own trip down memory lane as well as a entering into a bit of a rabbit hole of research into the origin story of VRChat itself, and so I wanted to share some of the results of my archeological dig here. I first ordered my Oculus Rift DK1 on January 1, 2014, and I received it about a week later. I along with many VR enthusiasts and VR developers ended up obsessively following the /r/Oculus subreddit as this where a critical mass of the community was congregating to share ...

Raindance Immersive 2024 opened last weekend in VRChat, and will run for the next four weekends featuring the latest innovations of virtual culture with 77% of experiences happening on social VR platforms and 69% that feature VRChat. I spoke at length with co-curators Mária Rakušanová and Joe Hunting about each of the 36 experiences that span nine different categories with four experiences each including Best Art World, Dance Experience, Game, Live Show, Music Experience, Narrative, Out of Competition experiences as well as the Music Video of VR and Short Film of VR. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ-VmsZ5oAU There are a number of mixed reality games that will be showing on the Apple Vision Pro and Quest 3, as well as the four narrative experiences that will be showing at a physical exhibition at Raindance, but otherwise the other 30 experiences all have some connection to a social VR platform. The best live show and best dance experience categories are new this year, and Hunting is continuing to cultivate the two film categories featuring short films and music videos, all of which were shot within VRChat. I talk with both Rakušanová and Hunting about the shift from June to November, and then dive into each of the nine categories and 36 experiences highlighting the latest trends and innovations by indie XR artists who are primarily working on social VR platforms including VRChat, Resonite, and EngageXR.

Christina Kinne (aka XaosPrincess) wanted to seed social VR worlds with AI chatbots in order to help catalyze larger social VR gatherings, and so she created the The Quantum Bar in Neos VR, which features a robot bartender that does speech to text via Google services in order to interface with GPT 3.0 in order to create a real-time conversational interface with an AI agent. I had a chance to catch up with Kinne and lead AI engineer Guillermo Valle Perez (aka Guillefix) at Laval Virtual 2023 where their experience premiered. We talk about the development process, the MetaGen.ai community that Valle Perez co-founded in order to facilitate the combination of AI with VR, and some of the theories for how deep learning works (see Stephen Wolfram's article on ChatGPT and talk on Wolfram's "AI Will Shape Our Existence" talk and videos from the Philosophy of Deep Learning conference at NYU). We also talk a bit about some of the open ethical questions around AI, and how AI will continue to be integrated into the production and experience of social VR worlds. https://quantumbar.ai/ This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.

AltSpaceVR closed it's doors for the second time on March 10th, 2023 at 10:08pm, and Athena Demos was there to bear witness to it all until the very last moments. She shared an eulogy again that she had first shared during The Polys livestream, and I had her read through what she had said. I had a chance to catch up with Demos to hear about her journey into social VR through the Burning Man community and helping to produce and translate the 2015 scan of Black Rock City into a virtual Burning Man during that pandemic in 2020 that I unpacked with developer Greg Edwards and Demos in 2020. She went on to found Big Rock Creative XR and produce a number of different virtual events with AltSpaceVR throughout the pandemic. She's working on producing an AltSpaceVR social VR alternative tentatively titled BCRvr Immersive that features the scan of Burning Man with a series of different stereoscopic footage vignettes to give you an immersive documentary vibe of the Burning Man experience. She shares both her grief of loosing her digital home and community within the the context of AltSpaceVR as well as her gratitude for Microsoft for providing this free service so long. It's still a bit of a mystery even to AltSpaceVR's staunchest community members as to the exact reason why Microsoft decided to pull the plug on AltSpace, and she shares inside scoops for how she first heard about the news. Demos is at cutting edge of developing new grief rituals and social VR community organizing dynamics as she continues to produce virtual events and experiences as she shares her surprising journey into VR in this emotionally authentic debriefing interview that we were able to have at the end of day on Monday, March 10, 2023.

Another World VR developers Ioulia Isserlis and Max Sacker thought it was a prank when German Hip Hop legend Dennis Lisk (aka Denyo) reached out via email to collaborate on developing a social VR and a completely virtualized live DJ performance toolkit. But it wasn't a prank, and they've been building a real-time audio engine compatible with Unreal Engine in order to meet the live performance standards of professional DJs to mix, sync, and modulate music in real-time. Most DJ sets in social VR either rely upon external hardware where the audio is streamed in, or they just play back a recording of a set. But for Lisk, he wanted to be able to perform live in order to more dynamically respond to the audience without having to split his attention between the physical hardware and any virtual representation of it. The end result is The District VR, which is an ambitious fusion of all of these live DJ mixing tools with aspirational plans to build out social VR clubs and create new monetization opportunities for DJs and musical artists.

Noah Robinson's Inner World launches today on the Quest Store after slowly cultivating an engaged peer-to-peer counseling community that is providing affordable mental health interventions across multiple social VR and 2D platforms on Mac, PC & iOS. Robinson is getting his Ph.D. in clinical psychology, and Inner World is a research project studying how the effects of what he calls “Cognitive Behavioral Immersion,” which is an adaptation of Aaron T. Beck's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Model. Robinson took inspiration from Dennis Greenberger and Christine A. Padesky's “Five-Part Model to Understand Life Experiences” that includes Physical Reactions, Thoughts, Moods, Behaviors all within an Environmental Context that was first published in their 1995 book Mind Over Mood: Change the way you feel by changing the way you think. The main idea that your feelings are difficult to directly control, but that you can alter your mood by changing your thought patterns, behaviors, embodied physiology within the context of a different environmental context. Robinson has found some powerful anecdotal evidence that providing mental health interventions within a social VR world can lead to some profound transformative moments as it provides a significant shift in environmental context that can lead to different thoughts, physiological reactions, and behaviors that ultimately can shift someone's mood. He's in the process of conducting three randomized-control trial studies to provide more scientific evidence on the impact of immersive environments on these types of mental health interventions, and is collecting lots of anonymized data within his social VR app to study what works and does not working within the process of peer counseling.

Welcome to episode #003 of the FuturePerfect Podcast where we talk with compelling people breaking new ground in art, media, and entertainment. This podcast is produced by FuturePerfect Studio, an extended reality studio creating immersive experiences for global audiences. Episodes are released every two weeks, visit our website futureperfect.studio for more details. The text version of this interview has been edited for length and clarity. Find the full audio version above or in your favorite podcast app.This week Wayne Ashley interviews Liz Rosenthal, curator of Venice Biennale's International Film Festival's Official Selection and Competition program Venice VR.We first met online back in 2020 when we participated as international jurors for the TAICCA immersive grant. And since then I've been following you and impressed with how fully you participate in this expanding field of VR and immersive content production. You're a curator, executive producer, mentor, incubator, CEO, and an international speaker, but you actually started out in film. How did you arrive at VR from your experimental practice in filmmaking?Liz Rosenthal: I got involved in cinema in my late twenties. I started making short films with an ex-partner. Then I lived in Edinburgh, Scotland where the most important film festival in the UK used to be, the Edinburgh Film Festival. And I got a job running the project finance market for the festival and I had to learn everything about the film business. At that time I was watching screeners of British films to include in the marketplace I was running and I found a film by a director called Christopher Nolan that had been made on no budget, and it was brilliant. No one knew about it. I then met somebody who was working with ultra low budget filmmakers in the US as a part of the independent film channel. He'd just met Chris [Nolan], literally hadn't seen the film and was asking me what great films are you seeing? He was running a finishing fund helping first-time and second-time filmmakers to make their first features. His big thing was talking about using digital video instead of using super 16. And thinking about how we could use available tools like these new prosumer cameras and later editing systems, which people weren't using at the time, like Final Cut Pro and Premiere. So I got involved in working with them and we hit it off obviously. We bonded over Chris' first film and we were very much at the forefront of using digital production tools. Then in the beginning of the 2000s, we got interested in what the internet and digital tools were going to do in terms of engagement, distribution, and new forms of creativity. And that's where I took off. When the company got shut down by the film channel we had done 13 feature films. I was excited about this area, because I thought, wow this was the place where it's going to get exciting.You and I talked about how important the internet was to both of our practices. The internet for me changed my whole trajectory. What effect did the emergence of the internet as a public media space have specifically on your practice?LR: Well, I think you'll probably get a clue from the name of my company, which I set up in 2006, called Power to the Pixel. I've always been someone who's interested in working with producers and artists and how they can get their work supported and out into the world and use the best tools, and the best ways to do that from a creative and a sustainability perspective. I was seeing the film business, like many businesses and sectors as they develop, get more and more fragmented and you get people siloed into different parts of these sectors doing different jobs. The relationship between the maker, the producer and the audience is completely distanced. And that's a real problem, both in terms of return-on-investment or impact for the producers, and also in terms of how the form develops. You've got to be in touch with the user and the user experience, or art forms kind of slow down or become irrelevant. So that really changed my practice. Suddenly you've got all these available tools, prosumer then, and now consumer tools. And I was thinking, how is this going to change the way that we make things and engage with audiences? Of course, being someone who's very much a producer and artist focused, I'm always looking at how new ecosystems have to be developed around these things. I take my hat off to people who start experimenting in this area and are curious.In the past, you've discussed VR as the result of a complex stream of influences, most specifically film, theater and video games. How do you see these influences come together in VR?LR: VR and immersive content or XR is the area that I'm now working on that completely consumes me and I don't have enough time to follow all the developments. VR has the cinematic qualities of a big screen in certain circumstances, and that can be both live-action shot 360 video, or it could be animation. The immensity of being in a whole space relates in some way to film. Filmmakers in the film community say: you've gotta see a film on a big screen. With VR it's way beyond that.And then there's a participatory, spatial, and free roam aspect of immersive theater. When you're in a virtual world and characters can interact with you in realtime. If you're designing realtime characters that are going to be interactive in terms of what you do as a player or a user then you're going to have to understand that realtime interactivity. There's also the influence of the interactivity and agency of games, and of course there are people from the visual arts, sound, and all types of interactive designers and UX experts.I'm conflating VR and XR. And I know that VR is only one set of technologies and creative practices within a much larger field. Can you briefly lay out what XR is so that our audiences understand that this is actually quite a complex range of technologies and practices?LR: XR, which often gets mistaken for the environmental movement [Extinction Rebellion], stands for extended reality. I would break XR into three different types of realities. The first type is AR or augmented reality, which you experience on a flat screen like phone or a tablet. This is 2D digital information that's layered over the real world. The second type is MR or mixed reality, that's 3D holographic information that has to be viewed on special mixed reality glasses. So for MR it's really only B2B solutions or enterprise, there's the HoloLens by Microsoft and the Magic Leap, both are very difficult and expensive devices. I've seen beautiful MR projects shown at festivals. With MR you have 3D information that you can move around and interact with, with your hands, and pick things up. It's very exciting, but you need a controlled environment to make it work. New smart glasses are starting to come out, the first big company that are a kind forerunner is Nreal who are doing deals with telco companies. I don't know if it's in the US or Canada yet, but it's in the UK and launched in Germany, Spain, Korea, and Japan. Those are consumer versions of the HoloLens, they're about $500 as opposed to about $2,500 or $3,000. And then the final type is VR or virtual reality, which completely dislocates you from the real world.Many people are going to assume that VR is confined only to a headset and involves a mostly private and singular experience, but you have really opened up quite an expansive range of ways that audiences can encounter this new medium. Layout for us the many forms and contexts that audiences might encounter VR at, for example, the Venice Biennale.LR: Amongst the other things I do, one of my main roles is curating Venice Immersive together with with a dear friend and colleague Michel Reilhac. We handle the immersive content competition section and official selection for the Venice International Film Festival, which is one of the four or five A-list film festivals. We are very lucky that the Venice Biennale, who also run the art and architecture events, but also the film festival, are very excited about embracing the medium. We have our own section and our own island where we can build up an exhibition and show all types of immersive experiences.I'll run through what that means, because I think a lot of people get a chance to see one VR project and they go, that's VR. We are talking about a set of many tools and technologies where you can create all kinds experiences and worlds. VR can be put into kind of two different categories, there's three degrees of freedom (3DOF) and six degrees of freedom (6DOF). In 3DOF, you're basically contained in a sphere. So you put on a headset and you can look around, but the field of distance between your eye and that sphere doesn't change. You kind of have no agency. Sometimes there's a bit of gaze interactivity with eye tracking or head tracking, but let's say you have no agency to change the world. You can't really interact with the what's happening. It plays out in the same way a film would. You have a subsection of 3DOF experiences that are live action. The creator shoots with a 360 camera that's fixed and you stitch together the images in postproduction.We've had some amazing 360 documentaries shown in Venice. For example, one work that's a big hit on the Meta Quest store is called Space Explorers: The ISS Experience by Felix and Paul. They make a beautiful live action documentary that's shot in the International Space Station. It's the biggest media project ever in space, it's quite remarkable. There are four episodes and it is extraordinary. It's 360 video, amazing quality and a moving experience. Moving on to 6DOF because a lot of people say 3DOF is not real VR. With 6DOF you are in a space where you have agency, you can move around the world, interact with things in the world, and be with other people in that world. You feel immersed and have a sense of presence. This is the most powerful thing about this medium is the sense of embodiment and presence. There's a wide range of different kinds of 6DOF experiences. You have single person experiences that have very little interactivity or agency, but you're in a spatial world, like the project Gloomy Eyes. This features beautiful animations and a kind of Tim Burton-esque type story between a zombie and a little girl in an incredible sort of diorama world. There's no agency, your eye is led around and you're in a spatial environment.Then you have things that are very complex, long hybrid kind of narrative games that feature hours and hours of gameplay. One of my favorite projects is Down the Rabbit Hole, which is made by a Swedish studio called Cortopia Studios. It's kind of a prequel to Alice in Wonderland and you're in this unbelievable animated world where you are moving this girl through the environment and she's meeting characters and it's just so much fun. It's puzzle game and it's so beautifully designed.Then the final category I'll go into is multiplayer social VR. This is what I've been doing over the last couple years and for Venice we had to make a completely virtual edition. My favorite platform is VRChat because it's closest to where people imagine the metaverse or this next spatial version of the internet is going. There's live theater performances and live music performances where you're there as an avatar with other people. And there are games, extraordinary art worlds, and performance worlds that can exist on social platforms or you can make a multiplayer standalone app where you can have multiple people in an experience. That's where I'm really excited about VR. When people say, especially cinema people, but it's a singular experience, you're trapped, and dislocated from the world and it's a solitary experience. I always find that weird. I think watching any piece of media that's not interactive is a solitary experience because it's you engaging with the medium. When I go to the cinema I'm not talking to someone asking what are you feeling? What are you doing? What are you feeling now? It's a solitary experience, I happen to be with other people. But in these virtual worlds you are with other people, exploring with them, collaborating, doing incredible things together in amazing avatars of your choice. Can you talk a bit about two other contexts: installation experiences and live motion capture for a virtual audience.LR: In Venice, the great thing is we're showing works that can only be shown on location. They can't be shown through a remote virtual platform. We've shown a number of these types of works that involve building complex sets and having complex technology where people can go into experiences together on site. The way this works is you have a VR headset connected to a backpack which is its own computer. This referred to as free roam, meaning you're free to move around the space and can see other people and interact with them including maybe actors, dancers, and performers. In Venice, I'll give you some examples of the kind of thing I'm talking about.Our biggest production was called The Horrifically Real Virtuality by a French group called DVgroup. They make these incredible experiences which involve actors and haptics and sets. The first experience by DVgroup we showed was called Alice, The Virtual Reality Play. DVgroup invited me to see the work at Cannes Film Festival and didn't tell me anything about. I went to this beautiful park and went through these red curtains into this beautiful room and put on a headset and few minutes into the experience I realized I wasn't talking to an animated character. I was talking to a real person who was represented by an avatar. What's happening is they are being realtime motion captured into a virtual environment that I'm in at the same time. And I'm realtime as well, you can full body track your participants.The second work was The Horrifically Real Virtuality where they led you into the world of American black and white B-movies where you met Ed Wood and Bela Lugosi shooting the last movie they did together. And it was a crazy descent that started in the real beautiful set and they captured images that you were capturing that you then went into through into a theater. We had three physical sets and we put on the VR headsets and then we went crazy down the rabbit hole into these different layers. There were six audience members and three to four actors. It was an hour long and was pretty astonishing.There's another experience I can tell you about called VR_I, it's a dance experience by a Swiss choreographer called Cie Gilles Jobin and Artanim. It was actually the first multiplayer live motion capture experience I tried and he is exceptional about experimenting with this medium. He motion captures his dancers and then there are avatars for six audience members. So what happens is you go into the experience with with a backpack that's connected to a VR headset. You realize you have your own avatar and there are dancers that are not in the same space, but you're not quite sure. You're in the same space with the other audience members and he's playing with scale and embodiment and it's incredible seeing what different audiences do.The dancers are in environments where they're the same height as you then there's moments when they're giants. And they're kind of almost playing with you. And it's an incredible experience. Suddenly being embodied and seeing other people you can interact with. People start dancing together in the scene. He has even the avatar for wheelchair users. The best way to explain these experiences is having a split screen where you've got footage of the person with the headset on and footage of what they see in the headset.In our previous conversations you've mentioned at least two critical reasons why VR and in particular world building is so important to you. One, it's potential for turning taken-for-granted narratives upside down and disrupting commonly held perceptions of our world. And two, the ability to embrace a kind of in-betweenness, this magnet for drawing together practitioners who just don't fit into any single category or role or skillset. Can you say more about this?LR: I came kind of late to this business and it seemed kind of crazy and dysfunctional and was kind of locked in. I could see these [digital] changes happening and how it was gonna blow apart how we engage with each other and how we communicate. So my natural inclination was to say hey everyone, look, this is coming, how can we adapt what we're doing to this? I have always been somebody who gets excited about the new and how it's gonna change and some people aren't. It took me a long while to realize this, that I like things that change. And change is kind of terrifying for some people. I'm not like that. I love the idea that we can adapt as human beings and change. And that's what makes me curious.I feel knowledge is fragmented into silos. And in a way we have loads of things that we can find out now because they're supposedly all online. But in way I sometimes think we've become dumber as human beings because our knowledge is fragmented. When you study now, it tends to be very specific and narrow. You can see that in computer science and also in medicine. When you look at medicine, you go to a doctor and they look at one part of your body. We are a system and we are connected to the outside and everything we do connects. And depending on your philosophy, some people will think, and I very much think this, we are connected to the universe.With world building, we're starting to build spatial environments that we can exist in, and embody, and be present in. We need all kinds of skills to do that. We talked about cinema, immersive theater and games being the three pillars. But we also want to think about how does this affect us? What is it gonna do to us? There are neuroscientists, psychologists, and people thinking about quantum physics, and there's people in healthcare and therapeutics.When you step out of your sector, you get labeled as somebody that doesn't really fit anywhere. I've seen it in people. The digital person at a TV company, or the digital person an arts organization or cultural organization or a big media company or studio, they're always the person who nobody really understands what they do. And they generally aren't given the IT and the operations to do anything creative. When there's a staffing cut or there's a strategy change, they are the first people to go. Or they get so fed up with having to explain things or find a reason to be in a company that they leave. Those in-between people are really needed. Because they help us adapt and view things in a bigger perspective. There are incredible disciplines that have been developed over decades and centuries that we need to respect and lines of thought and social and cultural commentary that is really important that needs to come into this environment. But it's about not seeing these people as peripheral people, but seeing that they are key to any practice or business.20 years ago, I began working with a variety of cultural institutions in the US who were seeking to expand their audiences through selective integration of new technologies into their programs. I experienced a profound resistance, almost a resentment, toward having to contend with these new technologies and creative processes. Have things changed? What are the points of contention that continue to circulate after all this time?LR: I think there's always this fear, fear is one of the things that drives people to do unfortunately, desperate things in the world. Fear of change is always difficult. We don't put these in-between people and really deep and strategic people who have an overview on where things are going culturally, technologically and socially, in the forefront of organizations and support them. It's still not happening because people are still in their media silos. And often what happens is people ask “what's the business model?” And you go, come on, this is the point! What you're doing is going to be severely hampered by not having the foresight and the strategy to develop your organization and practice. They're going to help you define that.I ran a big conference event that was a project finance market, a think tank for commissioners and financiers with leading artists and speakers, and people used to go, why should we fund that? What's the business model? I used to go, well, what's your business model? Because I came from film, I said, that's a destroyed business model. You cannot tell me that it's not. And you know, I'm not going to tell you what the business model is or you'll pay me loads of money, because people always expect you to just, in a networking event, suddenly explain the business model.What happens is obviously things crumble and people get scared. Then when there's money put into something, they generally rush towards it. There's always these hype curves of things and then suddenly traditional sectors go, oh god, we should be doing that. And then they may, but then it's usually a hype for a while and then they go, oh, well that was the load of rubbish, and let's forget about it. So that's what happens, they never give enough longevity or support.Are you experiencing these kind of challenges at the Venice Biennale?LR: The Biennale was amazing to support us in the first place. And that was the president who left a couple of years ago, Paolo Barata, he's a visionary in a way. And Alberto Barbera, who's the director of the film festival, who really listened to Michel and I about where this was going. And Paolo really understood philosophically what this meant and he wanted to be the person getting behind this new exciting art form. At the same point, the Biennale is an incredible organization, but divided into silos as well. I think in every organization it's really hard to do the new thing that kind of fits in-between so many things. We're in the film festival, so a lot of it rotates around the cinema industry. I've worked with a lot of film institutions, and it's always been hard. Outside of the US, in countries that have subsidy (government or soft subsidy for culture and media), it tends to be the film institutes who hold the purse strings. The government gives them their ministry of culture, gives the money to them, and some of them are further along than others, but most of them are thinking in film still, so it's quite hard.Can you discuss any projects, ideas or development that our audiences need to know. Can you tell me about any projects on the horizon that will be critical to this field?LR: It's incredible looking at these studios and artists who are making work, they're using new technologies, which are evolving the whole time. There's no standard business model for them to get financed or distributed or exhibited. And they're working so hard on all these different fronts and it's new creative practice they're developing. You know, it's hard enough making a film. And getting money for it. It's tough because you are putting together support from different sectors.So I'll talk about some areas where there have been some interesting things. I'm mad about social VR and VRChat. And I think it's an incredibly exciting space for people to get involved in. I know this is a very weird analogy because it sounds a bit basic, it's kind of like the YouTube of VR in a way, or the social of VR I should say, because you're on a platform where you can upload a world that you've designed in Unity. Or you can start building your avatars in a selection of different software and there's so much information in groups and the community. You can start by just visiting and getting into it because if you have PC you can go on desktop, but if you have a headset, obviously it's better. And a headset connect to a PC is even better. The world builders are kind of people who wouldn't consider themselves artists, but are doing these spectacular adventures. So now, pioneering artists are watching or starting to work with these mediums. So I'd say the live performance projects in the club scene in VRChat are amazing.Can you tell me about some of the live performances that we should look at or be aware of?LR: There was a work that won one of our main awards, our Lions back in 2020, it was called Finding Pandora X by Kiira Benzing, an amazing pioneering director based out of New York. This was pandemic led, so she'd done some amazing experiments and the year before we had something called Loveseat, it was a live performance for 50 people watching actors who were motion captured into a virtual world that was screened around us. So it was already combining live performance and virtual words. She went a step further with Finding Pandora X, it was a reworking of the myth of Pandora in VRChat in worlds they created. I think there's about 15 audience members and 3 actors who play the gods, so there's Zeus, Hera, and Pandora, and it was just exceptional. I tried it at the beginning of the pandemic and you learn to fly, they have a mechanism for flying. Because there's all kinds of things you can do in VRChat and they have all these plugins that people design and release into the community. So I was stuck in my flat, it was the first awful months in April 2020, and I was flying in VRChat above this amazing world. So we showed that and it was brilliant and won an award. Then something you may be able to see again because it's replaying, is one of the actresses who was in Finding Pandora X, Deirdre Lyons and her partner Stephen Butchko, did this project called Welcome to Respite. It's another performance set in VRChat that may have different runs still. We showed it in Venice last year, it's another beautifully designed world in VRChat.I want to talk about another thing that I love that we had in our events program last year, it was called Mycelia, and it is an incredible performance by a Canadian artist Nanotopia who makes music with mycelia or mushrooms in her studio in Canada. She was performing live into a VRChat world that was designed by an amazing community, it was five people from that community, the Meta Crew South Africa, who designed this incredible crystal light mushroom cave world. And she's performing in this incredible stage in the middle of this cave. They give you mycelia avatars and when you come in the she's performing live in an avatar with her mushrooms and mycelia through a very special MIDI system. And you're there in your mycelia bathing in this incredible world and it's one of my favorite things I've ever seen in VRChat.We talked about world building and I didn't answer that question about how this is really important. What kind of worlds are we going to build? And obviously a lot of what happens in these spaces is driven by dystopic visions from science fiction books and movies. And so many people who are in VR are, you know, huge fans of Snow Crash or Ready Player One. Or there's many dystopic visions we've seen of what's happening in the media, and they're so negative, the views of who we are as humanity. And I sometimes wonder, is our dystopia, the way we are now, have they been designed by artists [laughs]? Have people created them because they've seen them in books and movies? And in a way the architecture that's built, what's happening in the world, the pandemics, all these things, we've seen all these things. I think, why can't you have it a different way? The importance of what kind of worlds you build is so essential, that we think about what kind of virtual spaces we're going to be in. I'm not a technologist at all, my main reason for going into this area is because I was thinking, wow we're going to engage and communicate in such different ways. And it's really important to think ethically, environmentally, aesthetically and therapeutically how that's going to affect us as humans. These spaces are going to be really important. And there's spaces where they have all kinds of uses that help us think out ideas in spatial settings, solve problems, and embody to a certain extent, what it feels like to be in a situation, and give you some kind of insight, or they have therapeutic benefits that are really powerful. And so this is a really exciting space, the space between art and technology, our minds and bodies and the wellbeing of our minds and bodies and the world is really important.I think this is a great place to stop, with some very hopeful words. And Liz, thank you so much for meeting with us and I look forward to a lot more conversation with you.LR: It's a total pleasure. Thank you so much for the great conversation and looking forward to more, this is the beginning of many. This is a public episode.

The Severance Theory: Welcome to Respite is a VR adaptation of an immersive theatre piece of the same name originally produced in 2019 by CoAct

Am Staatstheater in Augsburg, da wird das Theater gerade ein bisschen neu erfunden – in Virtual Reality. Inszenierungen in 360-Grad-Videos, die produziert man dort schon seit Beginn der Corona-Pandemie bringt sie sehr erfolgreich inklusive VR-Brillen zum Publikum ins Home Office. Darüber gab es schon eine Folge dieses Podcasts. Doch das soll nur der Anfang sein. Tina Lorenz, die Projektleiterin für Digitale Entwicklung des Staatstheaters Augsburg wünscht sich jetzt auch Live-Performances in Social VR. Live, mit Interaktion und Co-Präsenz. Was eine "Projektleiterin für Digitale Entwicklung" an einem Theater macht, wie sie vom Chaos Computer Club zu einem Staatstheater kam und wie die Zusammenarbeit von klassischen Theatermacherinnen und -machern und der Tech-Welt läuft, das erklärt Tina Lorenz in dieser Folge von New Realities.

If you’ve ever put on a VR headset, you know how thrilling the experience is. But have you ever considered using the up-and-coming technology for PR and marketing? VR expert Navah Berg shares her tips and ideas for how virtual reality can change the industry. In this new episode of the Social PR Podcast, host Lisa Buyer dives into the possibilities of VR with Navah Berg. Navah is a specialist in both marketing and social PR. She was one of the first women to see the true potential of VR for PR and has dedicated her career to developing more ways to include the technology in our professional lives. What is Social VR? So far, most people have been using VR for gaming. So how do you use virtual reality for marketing? According to Navah, the real perf is being able to create a world or platform to bring people together. People can go inside a space, and walk around it. If you’re hosting, you are able to create and build wolds, create avatars and meet up spots. You can tell stories and develop narratives. For example, Navah created a world for International Women’s Day. She built a meet-up spot full of quotes from women where people were able to come in and come together to celebrate. Advantages of VR To some, VR might seem like a gadget. But the advantages are real, says Navah. Here are some of them:

MIXEDCAST #215: John Carmack kritisiert Facebook, weil der Konzern zur Coronapandemie nicht mit Social-VR am Start war. Zu Recht? Außerdem fragen wir uns: Ist KI wirklich intelligent?

Danke! John Carmack hätte gerne mehr Social-VR Obwohl John Carmack glaubt, dass die eigentliche Superkraft von VR die Isolation ist: Zur Coronapandemie hätte er gerne eine starke Social-VR-App von Facebook am Start gehabt. Doch Facebooks Metaverse-Versuch Horizon ist nicht fertig und andere Apps waren bereits eingestellt oder pausiert. Ein interner Pitch von Carmack, eine alte App wiederzubeleben, wurde abgelehnt. Zu Recht? Wir diskutieren, ob Carmacks Kritik an Facebooks Social-VR-Strategie berechtigt ist, oder ob der Kultentwickler falschliegt. Carmacks Social-VR-Kritik: https://mixed.de/facebook-social-vr-entwicklerguru-john-carmack-schaemt-sich/ Ist Künstliche Intelligenz wirklich intelligent? Sie spaltet die Gemüter, die Frage, ob man KI als intelligent bezeichnen darf oder nicht. Darf eine Maschine schon als intelligent gelten, nur weil sie lernen kann? Oder braucht es für Intelligenz doch mehr, beispielsweise die Fähigkeit, zu generalisieren. Und warum werden heute intelligente maschinelle Handlungen hinsichtlich ihres Intelligenzgrads in Frage gestellt, die vor 20 oder 30 Jahren für offene Münder bei KI-Forschern gesorgt hätten? Wir wägen die unterschiedlichen Argumentationen gegeneinander ab, umreißen die Problemfelder und kommen zu einem eindeutigen Ergebnis: "Da muss man vorsichtig sein."

Fake News, Lügenpresse, Systemmedien: Auch Journalistinnen und Journalisten, die sich viel Mühe bei ihrer Arbeit geben, kriegen das manchmal zu hören. Denn Teile der Bevölkerung – und das weltweit – scheinen das Vertrauen in Medien verloren zu haben. Was tun? Eva Wolfangel, selbst Journalistin, sieht eine Lösung in Virtual Reality, genauer: in Social VR. Sie kommt gerade von einem einjährigen Forschungsaufenthalt in den USA zurück, wo sie ein Konzept dafür entwickelt hat. Eva ist eine preisgekrönte Wissenschaftsjournalistin, zum Beispiel war sie schon European Science Writer of the Year, und sie veröffentlicht in Zeit, Spiegel, SZ und vielen anderen renommierten Medien.

As COVID-19 changes life as we know it and has industry scrambling to prioritize public health and employee safety by minimizing travel, canceling GDC and SXSW among many other high profile events, Social VR takes center stage in conversations about working remotely and collaborating at a distance. The challenge is, how accessible is VR outside of the industry's early adopters? The pandemic has us wondering beyond the scope of development into global supply chains and sustainability.

After a recap of Oculus Launch Pad demo day and lessons learned from the Facebook Oculus program, we reach the dev side of life where we had to take a step back from starting our Unity project to set up the legacy Rift headset (CV1) we're using only to discover an install bug dating from 2016 - that we have yet to fix! We switched gears to set up Melanie's Oculus Developer account and profile organization, which is required to create an Oculus app. The developer dashboard menus are a little squirrely so we suggest book marking visited pages, like the developer and App ID pages.

Danke! High Fidelity gibt auf Mitte Januar schließt das Social-VR-Netzwerk High Fidelity endgültig die Pforten – und der Gründer und Second-Life-Miterfinder Philip Rosedale rechnet rückblickend mit der VR-Brille ab. Zu unbequem, zu unpraktisch, zu peinlich: In Form von teuren, klobigen Gesichtscomputern kann VR vielleicht Hardcore-Gamer und Tech-Nerds überzeugen, aber nicht Millionen unterschiedlicher Menschen, die im Vr-Netz sozial interagieren sollen, glaubt Rosedale. Stimmt das? Gut möglich. Aber wahrscheinlich übersieht Rosedale ein wichtiges Element … Mehr: https://mixed.de/vr-gruender-kritik-vr-brille/ Boneworks: Knochenarbeit in VR Das VR-Spiel Boneworks will mit einer einzigartigen Physik glänzen, die realistische Interaktion in VR in bislang nicht dagewesenem Ausmaß ermöglicht.

Finding a suitable match online is already hard, but will VR save the day or make things even more complex? Welcome to Law Zero: a podcast about the implications (intended or otherwise) of emerging technology. After eight revisions, three different editing programs, and more technical difficulties than you could shake a stick at, we’ve finally made it to this week’s episode. We’re focusing on the more flirty, social side of VR: dating. The very stylish headset is irresistable, we know. This episode will cover the more PG aspects of going steady. We talk about everything from VR moving from silo to social, how more dragons could really break you out of that basic dinner/movie date combo, a #throwback to some UX not seen since MP3 players, several business ideas (like VR speed dating), and Carole generally roasting herself.

In Episode #51 sprechen wir über die Pleite von Altspace VR und was sie für den Virtual-Reality-Markt und Social VR bedeuten könnte. Am 3. August strich das VR-Metaverse Altspace VR die Segel. Der Grund: Die Investoren verweigerten die Anschlussfinanzierung und dem Startup ging das Geld aus. Da außerhalb des Investorengeldes offenbar keine Monetarisierungsstrategie vorlag, macht Altspace VR zumindest die Plattform dicht. Womöglich hält sich das Unternehmen mit anderen Projekten über Wasser. Die Pleite sei „überraschend, enttäuschend und frustrierend für alle Beteiligten, die ihre Leidenschaft und Hoffnung in das Projekt gesteckt haben”, heißt es in einem Statement des Startups. "Wir haben nach Partnern gesucht, aber wir hatten keine Zeit und kein Geld mehr.“ Das langsame Marktwachstum von Virtual Reality insgesamt dürfte das Aus von Altspace maßgeblich herbeigeführt haben. Die Social-Plattform hatte gar nicht die Chance, ausreichend Nutzer einzusammeln, um die Erwartungen der Investoren zu befriedigen. Zuletzt bevölkerten monatlich 35.000 aktive Avatare die Altspace-Welt. Im Vergleich zu Social-Plattformen außerhalb von VR ist das extrem wenig. Ist die Pleite von Altspace ein erstes Anzeichen dafür, dass die VR-Blase platzt? Oder haben solche Social-VR-Welten ohnehin kein großes Potenzial? Und wenn Altspace nicht die beste Lösung für Social-VR war, wie könnte sie dann aussehen? Sind es Games oder Facebook Spaces? Wie sieht das optimale Metaverse aus? Genug Diskussionsstoff für einen ganzen Podcast. Investoren kommentieren die Pleite: https://vrodo.de/investoren-bewerten-die-altspace-pleite-wie-steht-es-um-die-vr-branche/ Rettet Palmer Luckey Altspace? https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-social-plattform-altspacevr-macht-dicht/

Virtual reality adoption has been slow. Despite promising leaps in the tech over the past several decades, relatively few VR headsets have been sold worldwide, especially compared to smartphones. Can the world's most popular social network bring VR to the forefront?

In Folge #36 des VRODOCAST, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality, widmen wir uns Facebooks neuen VR- und AR-Ankündigungen von der Entwicklerkonferenz F8. Ersteindruck: Facebook Spaces ab Minute 03:00 Die größte Neuigkeit ist die Social-VR-App "Spaces", die seit Anfang der Woche als Beta-Version verfügbar ist. Die Anwendung ist die VR-Variante des Facebook Messengers und lässt neben Kommunikation auch Interaktion zu. Nutzer können gemeinsam 360-Videos und -Bilder ansehen, zeichnen, spielen und jede Menge anderen Unsinn machen. Wir sprechen über unseren Ersteindruck der App, das Zukunftspotenzial von Social-VR und den Schutz der Privatsphäre. Lies dazu auch: Spaces ab sofort verfügbar: https://vrodo.de/virtual-reality-social-vr-app-facebook-spaces-ab-sofort-verfuegbar/ Datenschutz und Spaces – darauf lässt man sich ein: https://vrodo.de/facebook-spaces-und-der-datenschutz-darauf-laesst-man-sich-ein/ Facebooks Pläne für Augmented Reality ab Minute 27:00 Das bestimmende Thema der F8 war trotz der Spaces-Ankündigung nicht Virtual, sondern Augmented Reality. Facebook-Chef Marc Zuckerberg eröffnete die Konferenz mit der erweiterten Realität und möchte das Smartphone zur nächsten großen AR-Plattform machen. Brillen seien hingegen noch weit von der Marktreife entfernt, erklärte Zuckerberg den anwesenden Entwicklern. Wir überlegen, ob hinter solchen Äußerungen ein grundlegender Strategiewechsel stecken könnte. Lies dazu auch: Augmented Reality - Facebook startet mit Smartphone statt mit Brille: https://vrodo.de/augmented-reality-facebook-startet-mit-smartphone-statt-brille/ Neue 360-Grad-Kamera für räumliche Videos ab Minute 41:00 Ein großer Sprung für die Produktion von 360-Videos könnte Facebooks neue Raumkamera sein. Die soll mittels Software-Algorithmen und einer speziellen Anordnung der Linsen nicht nur flache Bilder, sondern auch Tiefeninformationen aufzeichnen können. Der Nutzer kann sich dann in 360-Videos bewegen und den Blickwinkel verändern, anstatt nur den Kopf zu drehen - ähnlich wie bei gerenderten VR-Welten. Das Videoerlebnis mit der VR-Brille würde so grundlegend aufgewertet. Die neuen Kameras sollen in zwei Versionen noch in diesem Jahr auf den Markt kommen. Facebook kündigt handliche 360-Raumkameras an: https://vrodo.de/facebook-kuendigt-handliche-360-grad-kameras-fuer-raeumliche-videos-an/

Im VRODOCAST #30, dem deutschsprachigen Podcast über Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality, geht es diesmal um Social VR mit Facebook und dem Second-Life-Nachfolger Project Sansar. Außerdem sprechen wir über Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Strategie. Facebook 360 Vor wenigen Tagen veröffentlichte Facebook die erste VR-App unter eigenem Namen. Bei "Facebook 360" kann man ausgewählte 360-Grad-Videos und -Fotos von professionellen Produzenten ansehen oder durch die 360-Inhalte der Freunde scrollen - sofern vorhanden. Ebenfalls integriert sind soziale Funktionen wie Reaktionen via Emoticons und die Möglichkeit, anderen Accounts zu folgen. Die App lässt sich mit dem eigenen Facebook-Account synchronisieren. Zwar ist "Facebook 360" im aktuellen Zustand noch keine sonderlich aufregende Anwendung mit großem Mehrwert. Aber Facebook könnte den Social-Videoplayer als Basis nehmen, um kontinuierlich neue Social-VR-Funktionen hinzuzufügen. Wir überlegen, welche Features sinnvoll sein könnten. Mehr: https://vrodo.de/gear-vr-facebook-veroeffentlicht-erste-virtual-reality-app-facebook-360/ Project Sansar ab Minute Um Social-VR geht es auch im zweiten Thema: Project Sansar, der VR-Nachfolger zu Second Life, startet im Frühjahr in die offene Beta. Die Entwickler von Linden Lab versprechen eine vielschichtige und komplexe Welt, die von ihren Nutzern erschafft und monetarisiert wird. Hat die App das Potenzial, einen ähnlichen Hype auszulösen wie seinerzeit Second Life? Und sind gerenderte 3D-Welten, in denen man sich als Avatar bewegt, tatsächlich die Zukunft für Social-VR - oder bleiben sie eine Nischenanwendung für Nerds? Mehr: https://vrodo.de/der-nachfolger-von-second-life-oeffnet-diesen-fruehling-sein-tore/ Windows Mixed Reality ab Minute Aus Windows Holographic macht Microsoft kurz vor dem Launch Windows Mixed Reality. Die Umbenennung ergibt Sinn, denn der neue Name beschreibt deutlich konkreter, was Microsoft plant, nämlich ein Betriebssystem für eine neue Generation räumlicher Computer zu schreiben. Das im April erscheinende "Creators Update" verdeutlicht den Mehrwert des VR-OS noch nicht, scheint stattdessen auf Rückwärtskompatibilität zu setzen. In bisherigen Demonstrationen sind die VR-Nutzer zwar in einer immersiven 360-Grad-Umgebung, bedienen dort aber nur herkömmliche 2D-Anwendungen, wie man sie aus Windows kennt. Hinzu kommt, dass hochwertige und kommerziell verfügbare VR- und AR-Endgeräte wie die kommende Acer-Brille für Windows oder Hololens noch Monate oder gar Jahre bis zur Marktreife benötigen. Wir diskutieren Pro & Contra von Microsofts Mixed-Reality-Strategie.
