Immersive Technology Workshop: 3D Scanning and Motion Capture lead by IEA Media Projects Director & Associate Professor of Video Art Eric Souther and assisted by Yunda Sun our iea Research Specialist, Electronic Media and Film.<\/span><\/p>\n The workshop will focus on the accessible and innovative uses of motion capture and 3D scanning for the creation of immersive experiences. Motion capture allows for anyone to animate a humanoid avatar with the simple movement of their body in real-time. This allows for performative and rapid development of animations for use in game engines, augmented reality applications, and virtual film production. 3D scanning allows for creators to easily create digital models from physical objects. The implications of ease-of-use of these technologies and rapid development is empowering for new adopters. The workshops will focus on the creative use of these technologies for the creation of both VR experiences within the Unreal Game Engine.<\/span><\/p>\n This project is made possible with funds from the <\/i>NYSCA in Partnership with Wave Farm: Immersive Art & Technology Initiative<\/i><\/span>, with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.<\/i>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87032″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”86954″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Perception Neuron Studio boast industry leading sensor technology and revolutionary sensor algorithm, giving users limitless potential to take their motion capture to the next level.

Based on hybrid structure light technology of LED and invisible infrared light, EinScan H is making human face scanning more comfortable without strong light. With a built-in color camera and large field of\u00a0view, EinScan H provides high quality 3D data with full\u00a0color ready-to-use in minutes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”86996″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]https:\/\/sketchfab.com\/3d-models\/stone-i-e2217a2dde564903baa345eb3c08cff7?fbclid=IwAR2N1xq6JChzMZ7D-doeTTsbQE6dOS75HJDhn7g-Ssv0mxUiOtvk2k3M_AY[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]https:\/\/sketchfab.com\/3d-models\/monitor-3d267e3fe8e34434bdfa2f18c03671bb?fbclid=IwAR25wL8e6RHCxf47oqzN2EqxPT6eIAR3K8rZ8v7mhGLrxil1o5N-gmoZEco[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We conducted a two-week workshop that focused on the accessible\u00a0and innovative uses of motion capture and 3D scanning for the\u00a0creation of immersive experiences. We had seventeen artists from\u00a0the Western New York Area attend. We spent the first week introducing the game engine Unreal Engine 5 as well as how to\u00a0integrate motion capture, 3d scanning, and photogrammetry into a\u00a0cohesive environment.<\/p>\n By the end of the workshop artists each had a fully functional\u00a0interactive experience with sound, animations, integrated 3d models.\u00a0The technologies we purchased and implemented allowed for\u00a0performative and rapid development within the game engine. The\u00a0artists shared their work in a one-day symposium the last day of the\u00a0workshop. We had local and regional guests in attendance.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87095″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87102″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87096″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87100″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87110″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87112″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87106″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87104″ media_width_percent=”100″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=”87108″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We took our Immersive Workshop on the road to integrate into our larger western New York community.

When computers come into the picture during the \u201990s for sake of control, accuracy, we were presented with non-linear editing and rendering (a slower way of thinking). Over the past two decades 2000-present, computers have become fast enough to do real-time high-quality graphics.
