Recently, film and media outlets have found new profitability in the use of 3D media as a way to bring the viewer &#8220;into the action&#8221;. Unfortunately, the current means of content creation and presentation are done to fit a wide audience, resulting in a poor 3D experience.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual reality systems, such as the CAVE at WID, are able to create personalized 3D visuals that produce the illusion of being in another place. This talk will focus on recently completed research that enables the calibration of a 3D virtual environment based on an individual&#8217;s perception, enabling an improved viewer experience. In addition, this talk will showcase our work on natural user interfaces, enabling new means for artistic creation and studies of human behavior. Finally, the talk will discuss logical progressions and future directions for the field of virtual reality.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will be giving a presentation this Friday as part of the Discovery Seminar Series. \u00a0Information is as follows Discovery Seminar Series Kevin Ponto Assistant Professor, Design Studies, Living Environments Laboratory Wisconsin Institute for Discovery Friday, April 12th, Noon Researchers&#8217; Link *Lunch will be provided* Experiencing Data: How new technologies are reshaping the divide between [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":195,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions\/195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.discovery.wisc.edu\/kponto\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
