Ian Full Body: Photogrammetry II

For the second photogrammetry project, my partner and I decided to reshoot each other after becoming quite invested about the possibilities of a full body model after last week’s class.

While the measurable distance between the two does affect a work’s level of immersion, or feeling of ‘being there’—in Grau’s words—the feeling is most importantly created through Continue reading Reflections on Oliver Gau, Virtual Art: From Illusion to Immersion
