The future is listening
The future of tracking is rapidly approaching; and it will be tied to and integrated with all the home smart devices. Does this truly benefit you, as the consumer? The stated “benefit” is more targeted advertising (is this really a benefit?). This article from the New York Times (briefly) explores how “Samba TV” is being integrated into smart televisions (with 90% of users opting in after a brief statement saying it will “help recommend shows and provides special offers by cleverly recognizing onscreen content.”) Once enabled, it tracks nearly everything that appears on your

Building worlds with Xmod’s NetVRk
I attended the Miami VR Expo two weeks ago, at the invitation of its Co-Founder, Adrian Allen. It’s their first year, and he told me his goal for it is very clear: to grow the AR/VR community in Miami. A noble cause.

The narrative explored how, as an experienced 2- and 3D artist I was exploring Tiltbrush’s “special sauce”; how each medium has something it’s particularly good for, and my journey to find it. Hint: it involved giving up on

Upcoming speaking engagement on VR at Creative Tech Week
I’m spending a very pleasant morning at Good Karma cafe in Philadelphia (love the old leaded glass windows and plants!!) writing the first draft of my Creative Tech Week presentation I’m giving on May 11th in NYC… I’ll be talking about my experience as a first time VR artist (remember my 5 day VRaycation?). Might be the only presentation in the history of the world which talks about repousse, mokume gane, CAD and VR in the same breath lol (they’re all on a 3d sculpture continuum imho!) Here’s my Creative Tech Week profile: http://creativetechweek.nyc/…/linda-ricci-strategy-consulta…
