So excited to announce that our 2016 Global Game Jam Keynote address will be with Chris Suellentrop!
Chris Suellentrop is a contributing video game critic for The New York Times and a host of the podcast Shall We Play a Game?
Schedule (Subject to change):
Wednesday Jan 20th:
6:30pm- 9:30pm - Motion Capture Workshop.
Join interdisciplinary technologist John Henry Blatter as he takes us through the ins and outs of the software and technology of VCU's very own motion capture studio inside the The Depot Building VCU on the ground floor.
This event is meant to be a pre-cursor to our upcoming event RVA Game Jams/VCU Presents: Global Game Jam - with Chris Suellentrop Keynote. You may only be able to access this technology during the game jam if you attend this workshop first. Appointments for the motion capture studio during the game jam will be limited.
This event will replace our regular bi-monthly meet up at the public library.
This event is FREE but donations can be made https://gumroad.com/l/rvagjdonate
