Living in the Metaverse

This is my new home environment whenever I put on my VR headset and where I spend time in between exploring worlds and apps. I can move around in my space station apartment, sitting or standing. Recently spent some time relaxing on the sofa watching 3D TV on a big screen. Then I headed off to VR Animation to join a wild quantum race that dashed through dimensions. After linking my whatsapp to my headset, I was able to share photos I took with my Oculus camera. #Metaverse #VR #XR #Creativetechnology

RENDR FESTIVAL 2024, BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND

 It was a deep dive into gaming, animation, AI, XR/immersive tech and more, including a networking meet-up hosted by WiiT (Women in Immersive Tech) Europe, open to all.  As well as international speakers on two main stages, there were art installations and gaming arcades (indie and giants). Got AI'd by AIAIAI.AI: The Forgettable Art Machine by Amsterdam artist Matthias Oostrik. Stayed with a Fulbright Scholar pal in the Seamus Heaney Centre and wound up giving a talk on AI/XR/immersive tech to her 3rd year creative writing class at Queen's University.
