Telling stories with augmented and virtual reality for news and art
Event description
For this month's Hacks/Hackers, we'll dive into the world of Augmented Reality (AR) with two speakers, researching and using the technology for different storytelling applications.
Tim Madden is a designer at ABC News who will give us an overview of the current state of play with AR tech and how different companies are using it. Tim will also look at some of the opportunities for the ABC to use the technology, particularly on mobile, for new audience experiences.
Michelle Brown is an artist, curator and creative technologist based in Meanjin, Australia. Working primarily with emerging technologies, her practice explores transformation, experimentation and liminality, and how we use technology to create meaningful connections between people and their environment.
