Immersive artist, VR dev, web designer, and writer/poet from NYC. Collab with me? :)
Homework: Import two 3D scans into your custom VRChat room.
I tried to use display.land (free iOS app I randomly got a week ago because it looked cool) instead of Metashape, which ended up backfiring. I ended up successfully scanning my potted plant… along with the entire room.
Homework: design your own room for VRChat.
I reimagined my bedroom with more space/color and added the reading nook I’ve always wanted. In total, it took me around ~17 hours and I finally nailed rendering in Unity :)
I’m really drawn to using XR to explore the impossible. Virtual reality lets you step into a painting, fight as a god (Journey of the Gods), travel to far away destinations or timelines, see the world through another person’s eyes… I honestly can’t wait until more people start seeing it for its full potential and it finally blows up. I’m also in love with art installations (and other digital experiences, even video games) that make you feel like part of something bigger, such as Journey (thatgamecompany), Where Thoughts Go, Journey of the Gods and Tilt Brush.
