SIGGRAPH 1999
Picture Page 4

—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).
