Last night I was asked to reshare a talk I did back in 2017, which didn't get filmed the many times I gave it.
Let's do it as a thread. I've not done an informational thread on here before, interested to see how folks like it.
(forgive obvious stuff, it was ever so slightly fresher 8 years ago)
Today you can hear all the secrets of the creation of the Virtual Reality opera “From Dust” during our talk at Immersive Tech Week in Rotterdam

🎈 Here's the trailer for "From Dust", premiering tomorrow at De Doelen Rotterdam during the Immersive Tech Week.
A first glimpse into this new world we've created - blending the performances by the amazing Sjaella with cutting edge tech - an opera where YOU are the central figure.
