VR Prototyping with WebVR (3 Day Workshop)

VR Prototyping with WebVR
Presenter: Meehae Song, SFU School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT)

Dates: October 22-24 | 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Location: Orchard Commons | Room 3018 | 6363 Agronomy Rd

In this introductory 6-hour workshop, Meehae Song will introduce various VR Prototyping techniques using A-Frame, a web-based open source VR system (WebVR). Over the 3 days, she will cover emerging fundamentals of 3D space and UX/UI considerations for prototyping VR applications. The attendees will have a chance to work in A-Frame, quickly creating and exploring prototyped VR environments.
