Life at the Feeding Edge

APRIL 29, 2021

Way back in the dim and distant era of 2009 I was exploring a lot of tools to help me build virtual environments with avatars and characters that could be animated, typically in Unity. Then in the Sequence controller, the film events list I swapped the target actor from the original to mine and away we go.

Co-creator Aaron Koblin states that this was Within’s first project made with Unity, so the whole thing is real time rendered, enabling the viewer to interact with the virtual environment.

You can imagine the potential of such a tool when combined with a mixed reality headset (you could change some furniture in your house, or re-create a virtual environment that has the same shape as your room). Tribeca Film Festival is going to happen also in VR. You may end up working with me and my cool and crazy team!

It follows, then, that for people to want to engage with each other in virtual environments, we need to foster that sense of social presence, which means getting your avatars right. For game and app developers this is a huge time saver as it plugs into the Unity engine and lets players craft their own characters.

Mixed reality (MR) filmmaking (not to be confused with mixed reality headsets) is a technique that super-imposes a real-world VR user into the virtual environment, creating an eye-catching blend of the physical and digital. The film shoot itself took place in Los Angeles at VR Scout’s green screen studio. Let the testing begin.

The Unity renderer implementation of foveated rendering, on the other hand is much rougher, and in multiple Unity apps I saw very obvious and harsh artifacts, particularly on text. Given this only happens in Unity Full Space apps, I suspect this can be solved in future software.

Weeks later, we traveled to Park City, Utah to debut our HaptX Glove prototype at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. The same principle guided the software team to the first customer-facing SDK release, sporting plugins for Unreal Engine and Unity that instantly, intuitively, and effectively enhance customer projects with haptics.”.

I’m currently doing my honours, researching the feasibility of VR and haptics for midwifery training, using Deakin’s upcoming Virtual Reality Lab. I’ll also be building fun demos for their CAVE (cave automatic virtual environment) throughout the year. The best example I can give is the short film World Builder by Bruce Branit.

The way that VR works, you can both be in the same virtual environment, working on the same virtual engine, and actually doing call-outs and instructing each other. They're hiring a Unity developer or a 3D modeller. It's not something that every company will do. Cameron: So, I'll start with the software side of it.
