See what top design professionals are saying about the upcoming 5D: The Future of Immersive Design Conference. October 4 Mike Benson, executive vice president marketing, ABC Entertainment; John Tarnoff, DreamWorks Animation; and production designer Rick Carter, Avatar. 5D Panels Conference co-founder, Alex McDowell, production designer of Watchman, and Minority Report, will lead the panel Design in Flux: Immersive Design and the New Visual Narrative. In addition to Rick Carter, this session will include Tino Schaedler, architect, art director (Harry Potter); Sebastian Sylwan, senior industry manager for film at Autodesk; and Habib Zargarpour, senior art director, Electronic Arts. This panel will explore the challenges of the designers role in the process and the harnessing of technology to facilitate new levels of creative expression. Lead by Anne White, VP programming Kevin Slavin, managing director of Area/Code, and Robert Tercek, founding chairman of the Game Developers Mobile Game Summit. John Tarnoff, DreamWorks Animation, will guide the animation-focused panel, Reality and Hyper Reality: Envisioning New Design Paradigms in Computer Generated Animation. Exploring the future of environment and character in design-based entertainment, this session raises questions about the willing suspension of disbelief, and the opportunities for designers when the audience is prepared to accept any on-screen imagery. Tarnoff will be joined by Gore Verbinski; Evan Douglis, chair of School of Architecture, Pratt Institute; Scott Robertson, Art Center College of Design; and Lance Williams, computer graphics researcher, University of New Mexico. Narrating Space will explore the interaction of the virtual environment with the real world of architecture. When architecture no longer has to be concerned with physical, financial, and geographic constraints, it looks to filmmaking, story telling and other forms of media for its limitations and context. Moderated by Peter Frankfurt, co-founder/creative director, Imaginary Forces, this panel includes noted architect Greg Lynn of UCLAs School of Architecture Joseph Kosinski, commercial and feature film director now working on TR2N; and Dr. Jerry Schubel, CEO, Aquarium of the Pacific. (additional panelist to be confirmed) The boundaries between video and virtual worlds and the implications for story telling and world building will be the starting point for Building Worlds Designing for The New Frontier, to be conducted by Scott Fisher, professor and chair of the Interactive Media Division of the School of Cinematic Arts at USC. The translation of cinematic genres and stories to games and the extension of narrative experiences into real world playing fields are two questions for examination by Doug Church, EA; Qingyun Ma, dean, USC School of Architecture; Jordan Weisman, Smith and Tinker; and Tracy Fullerton, Electronic Arts Innovation Lab. The interplay of science and design in narrative media will be the subject of Bigger Bang: Colliding Science and Design, led by gestural interface pioneer and founder of Oblong Industries, John Underkoffler. The depiction of science and technology in films, novels, television and games informs and affects the work of real-world scientists; while the authors of these narrative forms are driven to incorporate the ideas and artifacts of modern and projected technology. Panel will include Paola Antonelli, design curator, The Museum of Modern Art; Chuck Hoberman, noted inventor; and David Kung, vice president, creative director Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Online.

ATLAS in silico, a physically interactive virtual reality installation, fuses dynamic media, art, emerging technologies in 3D computer graphics, computer vision and spatialized multichannel interactive audio with pioneering science. It reflects on one of the elemental scientific and cultural challenges of our time: the shift from an organism-centric to a sequence-centric view of nature made possible by metagenomics and it's ensuing impact on our understanding of the nature, origins and unity of life. The installation provides an aesthetic encounter with metagenomics data (and contextual metadata) from the Global Ocean Survey (GOS) - a recent pioneering voyage of discovery circumnavigating the Earth's oceans, the results of which give us a new picture of life on Earth with "potentially far-reaching implications for biological energy production, bioremediation, and for creating solutions for management of greenhouse gas levels in our biosphere." [http://camera.calit2. net/about-camera/GOS.php] In parallel to challenges that Darwin's work on natural selection posed to 19th Century representations of nature associated with concepts of species fixity, the new view of nature provided by vast and abstract metagenomics data, such as the Global Ocean Survey, poses a fundamental challenge for our ability in the 21st Century to represent and intuitively comprehend nature. Within ATLAS in silico, this challenge becomes a visceral, sensate experience of the abstraction of nature in to vast databases — a practice that reaches back in to the history of expeditionary science of the 19th Century and which culminates in 21st Century expeditions like the GOS. Participants experience a dream-like, highly abstract, and data-driven virtual world that combines the aesthetics of fine-lined copper engraving, lithography and grid-like layouts of 19th Century scientific representation with 21st Century digital aesthetics including 3D wireframes, particle systems, interactive 3D graphics and multi-channel spatialized audio. To highlight the historical and ongoing interplay between scientific discovery and culture, the installation contextualizes GOS sequence data within global environmental and social data from the regions in which the ocean samples were taken,and combines this data to construct the visual and auditory elements of the virtual world. By interacting with luminous and colorful 3D graphics and a responsive data-driven sonic microworld participants explore relationships within data that spans from the molecular (nano scale of protein molecules) to the global (geo-referenced sampling site, socio-economic and environmental data). The experience takes place within an immersive virtual environment constructed from contextual metadata. This invisible context animates the virtual world as a driving force, much like natural ocean currents, revealing internal structure within the data and metadata -- bridging out from the nano scale to the global and back again creating a multi-scale, multi-modal multi-resolution experience. The installation, as seen in this video, utilizes a combination of infrared motion tracking, custom computer vision, multi-channel (10.1) spatialized interactive audio, 3D graphics, data sonification/audio design, networking, and the Varrier 60 tile, 100-million pixel barrier strip auto-stereoscopic display. Through this ongoing collaboration we explore the possibilities for achieving works with multiple entry points that can exist concurrently as aesthetic experiences, artistic practice, and as the basis for scientific tools. The title refers to in silico (computational as opposed to in vivo or in vitro) biology and the abilities that emerging technologies offer us in atlasing the features of our world in ever-increasing detail.

Yes, in fact, he DID say dodecahedron! The whiz kids over at Immersive Media have created a camera that records omnidirectional video. What's that? Well, omnidirectional digital video captures a full-motion spherical world, simultaneously in every direction. I could explain it further but it's easier for you to just watch the video :) Then- head on over to their site and take the immersive challenge. I can't wait till they team up with Z-Dome and Virtual Earth!

www.snibbeinteractive.com By Scott Snibbe for Snibbe Interactive We adopted Snibbe's most popular floor exhibit, Boundary Functions, to an astonishing new museum designed by Zaha Hadid, with exhibit design by Ansel and Associates. For an exhibition on light and shadow, we created Central Mosaic, a new commission that records visitors' shadow movements into a never-ending fractal pattern. We created the world's first interactive fountain in cooperation with Thinkwell Design and Gordon Group Holdings for a shopping center in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Working with Interior Architects' Los Angeles office, we created a unique corporate lobby installation featuring a Shadow Mosaic. We created Near to viscerally and humorously explore the topic of network technologies and relationships. We created a unique Shadow Mosaic for Yahoo corporation to add a new opportunity for social interaction and play at their Sunnyvale, California, corporate headquarters. We created You Are Here, a unique exhibit that uses surveillance technologies to demonstrate the vibrant life of a museum.
