The Extended Life of Virtual Reality Storytelling
Free Talks
| 60 MINUTESIn this era of rapid adoption of various creative tools and the democratization of creativity, the subtle craft of designing digital artworks is often underestimated. Extended reality creators, whether they use sophisticated 3D scanning techniques, VR/AR, or hand-made animations, are restless in their pursuit of artistic excellence. How can we balance innovation and quality in a landscape that evolves faster than fashion? Hear from this year’s Tribeca Immersive artists as we celebrate this groundbreaking edition in collaboration with Mercer Labs.
