NYU Holodeck: The Future Reality Lab Explores VR & 3D Animation


The NYU Holodeck Project explores the future of technology & the infinite possibilities for communication. In Professor Ken Perlin’s Future Reality Lab (NYU Courant Institute), they’re testing out 3-dimensional animation software called “ChalkTalk” that lets you draw in midair, and a new VR prototype called “The Cave” where you can go to the movies with all your friends - without ever leaving home.

"The Holodeck project itself aims to build an instrument that allows us to see further into the future just as you might, for example, build a telescope to allow you to see further into outer space," Professor Perlin explains. "The work in our lab is one part of that question."

NYU Holodeck: The Future Reality Lab Explores VR & 3D Animation was originally published on the New York University website.
