There was a request from ITP campers on the topic XR/AR/VR, so I invited Michelle to do a real talk with us! Michelle (www.ellecor.com) is cool and she is my manager at work. She has been in the XR/AR/VR space for a while & teach VR design @ ITP!
In this session, I will collect + curate questions from campers & ask her to share her most honest thoughts with us!
Questions include: - how did you transition from installation art to big tech? - how to work in big tech without losing your soul? - can you tell us about your upcoming book "Embodying the Machine Design for the Ethical Implications of Immersive Technology"?
