Hello. I am new to the forum. I am currently developing a mindfulness meditation app in Unity. I have a demo which I will post later this week. I am in the Oculus Launch Pad group. A brief history on me. I was an architect and designed on CAD at Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. I left architecture to study digital content at the American Film Institute. In the 90s I worked for a first of it's kind digital advertising agency and I was the account executive for Silicon Graphics Inc. marketing the blue box and VRML. I became a free range agent marketing all things related to VRML; hardware, software and content. Since then I owned moderately successful stock film and photography agency which I let die when I was fighting Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I won. Last year someone who known me from VRML days called me and said with all that I am now, surviving cancer, that I needed to get back into VR and develop. So I do have an agenda, I want to develop healing beautiful content for people who are house bound or bound by illness. I do not want to be overtly medical, I just want to develop delightful virtual reality that transports the mind for a vacation of sorts. I believe that VR can replace pain medications some day. In any event, I am down the road in developing a title. My company is called Mindshift VR.
I am also an accomplished director and cinematographer. I am known for filming marine and aerial film pieces. This past week I filmed aerial footage for the Amazon show "Hand of God" using a red dragon in a Cineflex. While I did come back to VR with producing Cinematic VR in mind, I have found I really like the interactivity in VR with polygons. I climbed Mount Everest in the HTC Vive and it changed my view point. We are aiming to do mixed medium. I am interested in lidar technology, photogrammetry and other ways of capturing the reality. I am very interesting in the lytro immerge camera. (I am looking for projects)
For now, right now, I am producing a non-secular mindfulness meditation VR piece in the vein of meditation as proven useful by the medical community for providing many health benefits. This first piece takes place in a forest with a heavy level of detail.
