Today was a crazy day. Tried to finish the exhibition
floor and make all my appointments. I did...as you can see. |
|
| CD-R with printer, this would be fun at the office. |  |
| Force feedback mouse, it was a joystick 2 years ago, feel just as good, works even better and they say it will start shipping soon (like they said 2 years ago) we shall see. |  |
| Rachel Levine again, with Dave Bailey. |  |
| Panoramic Camera Mount I love this stuff. Her they have a remote control 6 camera panoramic MOVIE camera motion and 360degree vision. They also sell software to put together CG Movie Panoramas. Way Kewl. |   |
| 3D scanning of architecture, The Mensi guys we met at the Hash party and they are very nice and have kewl services and hardware. |  |
| Prototype force feedback with torque and his other device is just a sleek design. |   |
| This is how one camera records panoramic movies with a spherical mirror and a regular camera. |  |
| I love these cyber chairs but I never buy one. |  |
| Sony VR goggles here, here, and here. The ones here are
only $1800-$4000. They have one they told me for only $700. |
   |
| Panasonic, Mini-DV Camera and edit, I not only want this but I probably need it for work. |  |
| SGI's wide display, would be nice if you didn't need a big computer to run it. |  |
| Cyberpucks on the side of this monitor for 2 hand controls, but they don't have drivers for my software grrr. |  |
| White light 3D scans, this year it looks good and the price is reasonable. AND they are gonna send me my face. |  |
| Doug at Coriolis in front of his book. |  |
| Doug and Steve Roberts from Eyeon. |  |
| Project Alice in the Millenium Motel, I have to get better pics tomorrow. |  |
| Hard to describe. Optical camouflage, and when you looked through the box you saw through him. |   |
| MIT Labs, always have the best toys. A very mini display, embedded in glasses, another version outside clipped onto glasses. |    |
| So I was rushing all day so I could spend my hour on the forcefeedback clay modeling system. One hour late and I have my puppy. They will print it out and send it to me. It was a very different experience. I would need at least 3 more hours to determine if as an artist (not as a computer modeler) I would want one. |  |
| I went to the Studio to visit Omar from Mensi and they had some kewl stuff you could use if you brought your own data like a big printer. |  |
| Omar from France, he was kewl. |  |
| They also had a cyberscan. |  |
| You could print in wood or with those other 3D printers. |  |
| Another Wide screen I like these. |  |
So I showed up late to the CG-Char meeting which I am
told was PACKED (3 hours earlier) but I got some good pics anyways: |
|
| Rachel Levine, Etsu Kahara, and Richard Edwards ( I had been tracking down Richard to make sure he got on this years since he is on 97 and 98's sites). |  |
| Richards Edwards and Patrick Lowery (Se my SIGGRAPH 97 pictures for this same shot). |  |
| Scooping Mike Comet, also Steve Segal. |  |
| Rachel Levine and Tom Grevera. (Rachel is such a ham only one pose but in a 100 shots) |  |
| Doug and Rick May (The founder of the list and our fearless leader). |  |
| Leftovers Group Shot , these guys just wouldn't leave (some annotate it for me). |  |
| Weird promo found in my bag, it hold the gas pump open
so you don't have to. What does this even remotely have to do with CG??? |
