Data can be complex to understand and digest, especially through a 2D screen. Join us for a night with several companies tackling data and data visualization in VR/AR. There will be demos and conversation focused on all things data at our 10th Non-Gaming VR meet-up.

JoAnn Kuchera-Morin is a composer, Professor of Media Arts and Technology and of Music, and a researcher in multi-modal media systems, content and facilities design. The culmination of Professor Kuchera-Morin’s research efforts is the one-of-a-kind Allosphere Research Facility, completed in 2007, in the California NanoSystems Institute (Elings Hall) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The AlloSphere, a 30-foot diameter sphere built inside a three-story near-to-anechoic (echo free) cube, facilitates research collaborations in an environment that can simulate reality. The AlloSphere is one of the largest immersive scientific instruments in the world containing unique features such as true 3D, 360-degree projection of visual and aural data, and sensing and camera tracking for interactivity (www.allosphere.ucsb.edu). Dr. Kuchera-Morin serves as the Director of the AlloSphere Research Facility.
