OpenLAB July sees some
pioneering work in both animation and underwater environments presented.
Interested in space, the deep sea or interactive animation? Come on
down!
Each Open LAB begins with talks from fellow guests that seek to share their work with the group, and then end in an all out free-form open discussion and hands on tinkering space where guests can present a finished, or unfinished, work, seek collaborations, seek peer review, or make a call out to the community to help troubleshoot a problem they are having.
