An experimental performance mixing AI, stereoscopic 3D, plants & human actors - probing our fractured bond with nature & tech’s promise to save us.

If you’re also working with stereoscopic real-time content for 3D displays and projections in Unity HDRP, and want to set forced perspective stereo views – using single pass rendering – here’s a hack you might find useful.

Use at your own risk.

What I spend my week on? Well, apparently @unity.com cannot do single pass stereo custom view/projection views … unless you write a c++ XR Provider plugin ... but you can’t, because the link to the XR SDK is broken.

Custom stereo matrices for single pass instanced in HDRP. How?
@IsaacsUnity @andyb-unity @KevinXR Who do I have to talk to get access to the XR SDK for developing a XR provider plugin? The sign up link in the manual is broken.

Don't miss MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. I saw the premiere at CPH:DOX and there are still a few tickets left. It’s an incredibly frightening yet touching insight into how Putin has radically transformed the entire Russian school system for wartime.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin - CPH:DOX
En modig og ukuelig folkeskolelærer afdækker i hemmelighed Putins aggressive militarisering af Ruslands skoler i en film, som det ikke er for tidligt at kalde en af årets dokumentariske sensationer.

Just implemented simple texture feedback and had a jolly time yanking around parameters.

Plot is a Processing/p5-inspired drawing package for Unity I designed for smaller data visualisations, visual code sketches, and learning how to code.

You can get it on Github.

Intangible is on display at CPH:DOX INTER:ACTIVE, Kunsthal Charlottenborg March 13–24. This is my first VR-based work, produced during a EMAP residency at RIXC in Riga last autumn. I couldn’t be happier with the venue for this Danish premiere.
