This document discusses storytelling techniques for virtual reality. It notes that VR allows compelling visual stories to be told to wide audiences without needing actors, special skills, or high budgets. It discusses both 360-degree videos where the camera is fixed and interactive VR where users can look and move around freely. Key points made include thinking in stages rather than shots for 360 content; using sound, scale, and motion cues to guide user attention; avoiding fast camera movements or cuts that can cause nausea; and developing content specifically for the VR medium.

Virtual Reality: Learn to Maximize Present and Future Creative Possibilities!Stephan Tanguay
2014 is the year that virtual reality will go from a bad memory from the 90s to the beginning of a new way to experience content. Already the Oculus Rift has started to transform several industries with its ability to transport you to a completely interactive virtual space. As a designer and/or developer, this transformation will change the way you look at your work.
The first time you build something on the screen and then project yourself into your own creation, you quickly feel a sense of wonder and excitement from experiencing content in a way you never expected. You will also realize that many things that work well with a typical mouse, keyboard and computer screen work considerably different in the virtual world. Sharing these experiences with Stephan will help you to understand how to leverage what works in virtual reality, future possibilities and what to avoid so your virtual experiences will be effective at immersing users in your virtual creations.

Bill Meyer (Virtual Science Center): Turning Kids on to STEM by Letting Them Discover How VR and AR Tricks Our Brain
How exactly does Virtual and Augmented Reality game human perception so things we know aren’t there seem to exist? Can simple and robust public learning experiences empower and delight people of all ages to experiment and discover the answers for themselves? The answer is yes. This talk will present examples and discuss how UX best practices can be applied to create effective inquiry-based learning experiences that unpack seemingly complex modern technologies. Through iterative design coupled with repeated visitor testing, we deconstructed the surprising perceptual science and technology behind VR and AR into 16 cool hands-on experiences that spark “aha” moments and minimize the need for wordy explanations. We keep concepts intuitive, playful, and fun to understand. Our traveling exhibition goal is to show visitors they're smarter than they suspect, inspire students to aim for STEM careers, and help teachers lead deeper NGSS and Common Core dives both in and out of the classroom. This 45 second video shows an example exhibit and part of our visitor testing process: https://youtu.be/Sgh0Sys57lY Without needing to learn the terms, visitors discover the secrets of how things like Motion Parallax, Stereo Vision, 3D Audio Spatialization, Outside-In, and Inside-Out Tracking work in concert to make virtual, augmented and mixed reality experiences possible.

Valentin Heun (PTC): One Reality - A 3rd generation AR User Interface
Many of our technological innovations seem to expand the computational abilities without the human in the loop. Augmented Reality is one of the view technologies that promises technological advances that enable us humans a better connection with the ubiquitous technology around us. We are not there yet to make use of such a user interface. We currently have individual islands of interactivity via AR. This conference may have many spatial demos as well, however, a single ubiquitous layer that penetrates all screens, surfaces, machines, and environments are not available. This is what the PTC Reality Lab researches. The core of this research is the ability to use AR in a scalable distributed platform to bridge among technological domains to allow the weaving of multiple technologies into one user experience. The resulting user experience is called One Reality. The goal for One Reality is to provide one seamless, ubiquitous flow of user experience for all technologies that touch the user’s decision making. This talk will iterate on the different stages of Augmented Reality User Interfaces and identifies One Reality as the 3rd stage in the evolution of AR user interfaces. This visionary talk aims to inspire the audience to think beyond the known applications for Augmented Reality.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

1. Storytelling in Virtual Reality
Things we learned about….
Fabian Quosdorf, Technical Product Manager
f.quosdorf@wonderlampindustries.com
2. vision:
• tell compelling visual stories
• make art of animation available
to anyone
• without
• actors
• special skills
• high budgets
• Create a Story for VR in VR
2
3. 360 Stereoscopic Webseries: Brothaz
• 360 Degree Videos and
“Rollercoaster Rides”
• Camera is fixed on solid point
• User can look around and
watch the show
• User cannot interact with
environment
• Scene does not react on user
VR Terminology - Noninteractive
4. • Virtual Reality Demos for
Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, PS
VR
• User is the Camera
• User can look and move
• User can interact with
environment
• Actors and Elements in the
Scene are “User-aware”
VR Terminology - interactive

5. Think Stage-based not Shot-
based
• 360 degrees of freedom
• The user sees everything
• You can still cheat in the
distance.
• Make use of the whole
scene
• Guide the users view to
points of interest. “Alamo” Filmset (Wikipedia)
7. • Pay Attention to scale
• Review your animation in VR! Flatscreen is
not enough
• Real world phobias can transform to virtual
reality
• Nausia is a huge Issue - High framerate can
help
• Think Stereo not Mono
• Give users time to adjust: It is a new medium!
Develop for the Medium
8. Camera is key - but in VR it is always user centric.
Plan your camera tracks - or puke.
• No Depth of Field
• No fast movement
• Camera cuts are fine!
• No hefty direction changes
• Motion must be plausible
• NO VERTIGO EFFECT
9. Sound in VR is omni-directive and always “interactive”
And what about sound?
• Sound in VR is omni-directive
• Even in videos it is “interactive” and reacts to head movement.
• Use sound to guide the user
• If possible record sound with spatial hardware
• Youtube and Facebook can playback spatial audio on mobile
devices.
welcome,
at Wonderlamp we want to make the art of animation available to anyone. We want to allow storytellers and TV series producers to create more stories faster and at a lower cost than what is possible today.
We want to make animation a standard way to communicate ideas.
