For those interested in immersive filmmaking: Here's a good primer article about Apple Vision Pro (AVP) and Blackmagic URSA Immersive outlining the key differences of the 'traditional' workflow and 'the new (Apple) way', and touching on some key concepts and workflow changes that may help consolidate and perhaps revolutionize the VR industry:

If you ever want to experiment with 3D-180VR content yourself, hit me up, I have been creating content for Quest on an 8K-10bit modded Q3U-3D180 with Ambisonics onboard for a little while ;-)

Filmmaking evolves with Apple Vision Pro and Blackmagic’s immersive workflow for the Vision Pro era.

Pleased to share Sieglinde Battley's latest exhibition 'One Way Out' at Straitjacket Gallery in Newcastle. This 360 virtual tour allows you to roam freely in the exhibition space, get close to the artworks and click on them for detail viewing. The interactive exhibition catalogue is on the small table near the stairs, and you can find more gallery info, location and artist's bio in the menu. The experience varies slightly between smartphone and desktop use, and it can also be enjoyed in full 360VR if you have a headset.
The show is still on, so make sure you check the details on the Gallery website

Feeling honoured, some of my sample 3D 'digital twin' reconstructions have been used for the latest upcoming webinar of the IVRPA (Internation VR Professionals Association) on the topic of Gaussian Splatting. Below is a sample of Julie Squires 'Mermaid' in Newcastle harbour (live working link provided). You can watch the webinar live (albeit this is US westcoast = 1am Sydney time) or watch the archival recording back if you're a member ;-)

Typically if I render something it’s my GPU doing all the hard lifting.. but if it’s my own house wall I can’t say no.. 😉

Ever wondered how the "Good Food" Gaussian Splat commercial was realized? Check out this background primer by the master Matt Hermans himself explaining how these new technological advancements can be turned into reality for film making and VFX:

And whilst AVsupport isn't anywhere near this level of ground breaking sophistication, I've been finger deep into the process for quite some time, so if you want to know more what can be done, and how it can be useful, let's have a chat ;-)

Good Food 2025 TV Commercial Background The Electric Lens Company (ELC) is a creative, technology-based studio in Sydney, Australia. We come from Film + TV visual effects and 10 years ago, started working on post-VFX activities such as virtual reality, mixed reality, virtual production and other R&D

I always wanted to do this: Interactive immersive 3D spaces and websites that blur the line between CGI and reality. As technology progresses new tools become available to create better experiences that drive deeper engagement, through better connectivity between the individual parts.
