3Dcamp Dublin & Irish VR meetup
October 4, 2018 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Our October meetup will feature presentations, demos and discussions.
Presentations
(1) United Nations Mine Action Service – VR expereince
The UNMAS (United Nations Mine Action Service) mission in Somalia primarily focuses around counter IED (improvised explosive device) training for soldiers in the AMSOM (African Union Mission in Somalia) with a view to reopening MSR (Main supply routes) to FOBs (Forward operating bases). In March 2018 VRAI travelled to Somalia to make a VR experience for UNMAS. “The end result is a tension-filled experience that tests the observation skills, patience and leadership of those willing to take the challenge.”
Niall Campion, founder at VRAI, will talk about why VR made sense for UNMAS, the challenges of filming in a war zone and how VRAI managed to deliver this compelling experience in a mere 6 weeks.
