A few other unmissable experiences

Alongside our world Premier of Undersea, Walt Disney Animation Studios premiers its second animated VR short film: “A kite’s tale”.

At SIGGRAPH 2018, our friends at Parallux premiered CAVE, a shared narrative virtual reality experience where participants could see and hear the same narrative from wherever they were in the room––just as if they were in a live theater.

This year they’ll be presenting an Art Paper that talks about their approach to multi-user XR collaboration, which helped lay the groundwork for the performance technology showcased in our “Mary and The Monster Experience”.

Don’t miss some of the Khronos sessions hosted throughout the conference and make sure you check out the Autodesk Vision Series.
