3D/VR/AR/360° Hub

3D/VR/AR/360° 3D Stereoscopy, Virtual Reality Augmented Reality, 360° Panorama Stereoscopic 3D photography and videography has been around for quite some time (centuries in the case of steeophotography). However, new innovations in virtual reality, augmented reality, and 360° media have brought on new interest. This page is our hub of related pages and interest and resources. The 3D/VR/AR/360° Taiwan group on Facebook is the premiere English language discussion group for 3D/VR/AR/360° in Taiwan, especially when combined with the Taiwan Virtual Reality Meetup.

Virtual Reality: An Introduction

VIRTUAL REALITY www.meetup.com/tawanvirtualreality www.facebook.com/groups/taiwan3d For a number of my courses at the university, I include a unit on Virtual Reality for various contexts which may sometimes include one or more Virtual Reality Days in which the students are able to experience VR for themselves.

The Way of Improvisation

I use a LOT of improvisation in my educational endeavors . . . from theatre (no duh and a half) to communication to the teaching of hypnosis (improvisational exercises that usually throw folks for a loop at first but which accelerate mastery and creativity big time). Improvisation is your friend. In this worthwhile TedX talk, improviser and storyteller Dave Morris teaches you 7 steps to improvising and how they apply to life in “The Way of Improvisation.” Be sure to click subscribe on our Waking Dreams 3D/VR/AR/360° Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8wy50wAOGy3WgPMNbsOi2w – in fact, if you have not already done…
