Join Charla as she shares her journey to HoloLens and how thinking in 3D is an important piece of understanding for success with these new technologies. Charla Pereira is a senior designer for Microsoft currently focused on 3D experiences. She has been innovating with technology for 20 years professionally and in love with experimentation and storytelling from early childhood. Her first works were creating for both paper and 2D screens in the startup days of the internet for clients such as The Jackson 5 and The Air National Guard, she was one of the first to bring 3D games and interfaces to the internet. When she joined Microsoft she successfully shipped Office 365 and wanted to create for something more than a 2D screen. Her journey continued into designing robotic interfaces for Bill Gates, working with Microsoft Research on reinventing 3D painting, and now experiences in mixed and virtual reality. Her true passion is to invent using true stories, design through experimentation, and create products that empower others to imagine what is possible. Thinking in 3D: A talk with Charla Pereira (Microsoft) Presented by the Digital Futures Graduate and Undergraduate Programs March 5th from 1PM-2PM Room 115 at 205 Richmond St. W. All welcome!

Light Art festival in Detroit: DLECTRICITY Open Call for Entries

We are pleased to announce to you some exciting news: DLECTRICITY™ 2020 is coming this September, and our Open Call for Entries is now live!…

Please join the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and School of Interdisciplinary Studies for 2 sabbatical talks by Dr. Emma Westecott and Dr. Suzanne Stein. -- DR. EMMA WESTECOTT Game Sketching: Exploring approaches to research creation for games Digital games are a critical form in which makers express models of play that create meaning beyond entertainment. Game culture is pervasive and amidst a wider technological context that invites all our active participation provides one setting for creative self-expression. Games collapse the distance between makers and players in a uniquely active manner and whilst this work is interested in possibilities for game making, all players co-create their own gameplay experience, which holds potential for enacting individual agency. Based on experience introducing game design and development education at OCAD over the past decade as part of the Digital Futures program, this paper develops some early discussions around the concept of game sketching to both pedagogic and research creation ends. -- DR. SUZANNE STEIN "Feminist Collaboration in an emergent non-hierarchical network" Stein explores a cluster of research projects and the need to revisit project management processes to allow for knowledge exchange and project formation. She discusses the linking between projects based on issues of feminism, collaboration and ICT/M sectors and discusses the need to create a non-hierarchical hub for expansion and inspiration. This is important in cross-sectoral collaborations that have differing and changing needs and resources. -- This is event is free to the public and located in an accessible venue.
