VRScout Report - Discover the Best in VR and AR

In this week’s episode we talk with Tenderclaws' co-founder and game lead, Samantha Gorman, about their upcoming project, TendAR, which includes an AR pet fish that uses computer vision to feed on people's emotions and the world around it. We discuss how Gorman overcomes AR obstacles by strategizing how to make players return to their app and how they are gamifying short play sessions into a long-form AR narrative.

We traveled to the newly-opened Metastage production studio in LA to talk all things holograms, humans, and 3D with Christina Heller, CEO of Metastage. We discuss how to capture volumetrically and how the resulting 3D assets can be used-- from VR to AR to traditional entertainment and video games. Our host, Malia Probst, gets the full volumetric experience herself and turns into a hologram by the end of the show - https://www.metastage.com/
