Members will be provided with top of the line, fully loaded workstation (G4). All the required software for the workshop will be provided. A special section of the workshop/laboratory will be devoted to wearable computers. Three different wearable suite will be introduced followed by demonstrations and lectures. Course Objectives and Content: The bulk of the workshop will be devoted to providing attendees with hands-on experience, how to do, and how to make work, how to begin creating a computerized theatrical framework that is technologically supported, progressing through a step-by-step process, assuring a high level of understanding of all the complexities and issues related to the use of these technologies in performance. Attendees will meet with additional experts from the field as needed You will learn/explore the following: concepts of Virtual reality and Cyberspace notions and concepts of interactive technologies. electronic dance surfaces "softVNS" intro to various sensory elements and their potential use, making customized interactive elements of your choice "cyberPRINT" "Electronic Sensory Wearables" and the "Wearable Computer" notions of 3D rendering processes and texture mapping techniques as effective companions to material created on the computer with various applications and programs. video captures, video editing, and output to video projections. final cut editing techniques create a computerized environment that will facilitate interaction between several applications in order to create a 3D world. The world will include both CyberHumans as well as theatrical cyber-props. how to create and combine Flash 5.0 images, Life Forms 3.9, Poser 4.0, Painter 5.0 and PhotoShop 6.0 Images and dynamically transport them to Quick Time Movies and other related applications The following are the software applications that you will learn about during the workshop: 3D Studio Max 4.0 (pc platform) Adobe After Effects 5.0 Fire-wire-video input and video output Final Cut Pro 3.0 editing software, Quick Time Flash5 and virtual 3D Painter 3D and Painter 5.0 PhotoShop 6.0 Poser 4.0 + Poser Pro-Pack Life forms 3.9 Conclusion: At the conclusion of the three-week workshop, participants will demonstrate a greater understanding of issues directly related to the creation of a totally mounted computerized (or virtual) performance environment. In addition participants will acquire the technological tools that will enable them to think of the computer as a performance environment, as an interactive world, and or your personal alternative theatrical performance space Only the most committed individuals that are seriously interested in the intense learning of the technology should apply. If you have any additional questions about the workshop, please connect with me directly. e-mail-sharir@utxsvs.cc.utexas.edu Office phone (512) 232 5333 --
