Cinematic VR Challenge #7 - Eliciting the "Whoa" Effect
Come create a virtual reality experience with us! Come alone or with friends. We welcome all current and future directors, choreographers, actors, writers, programmers, artists, musicians, sound designers, students, and people just trying to have fun.
Theme: The "Whoa" Effect
Ever since SIXR began and we have provided over 1,000 people their first immersive media experiences, the first thing people say, nearly universally, because it's such a reflexive exclamation, is WHOA! It is an authentic response, so true! What exactly successfully induces that? We're curious. It certainly seems like a gratifying stamp of success to elicit that effect from something you've made!
As always, our themes are meant to be inspirational food for thought, not a requirement of any kind. We like to make it clear: this is not a competition. The challenge is against the time constraint, not each other. The more we can learn together the stronger our collective force in collaboration. We are only interested in WIN-WIN-WIN situations, where everyone is included and valued, no matter what level of experience or area of expertise one is coming to this from.
Team Creation:
People will float their ideas in front of the room. People will then choose which project they want to be a part of. You are encouraged to bring your own equipment, cameras and computers, and we will have that equipment available, as well.
If you're new to VR, don't feel intimidated! None of us has harnessed the full potential of this medium yet and we want to collectively share ideas/experiences. Come with your ideas, your skills, your hard work and enthusiasm. This event is as much about meeting new friends as it is about creating something awesome together!
This schedule is preliminary, and will be updated frequently, as we add more workshops and presentations.

NOTE: If you already did this for the last CVRC#6, you don't need to do it again; those are good for 6 months.
RE: Mocap Now Elective - If you are interested in utilizing motion capture for your project, you MUST pre-register with a form sent only to paid registrants of the CVRC, and attend a Pre-Event Best Practices Orientation on Tuesday, 6/19/18. This is NOT a separate event, and is only available to registered participants in the entire CVRC. The DEADLINE to register for CVRC with Mocap Now elective is Monday, 6/18/2018 @ 5PM. Then you will receive the instructions on how to prepare for the orientation.
Our DEADLINE for ticket sales to the CVRC without Mocap Now acccess, is Wednesday, 6/20/18 @ 5PM, so the PacSci Center has time to process the last minute background checks. Space is limited, so register today!
