ARTFUTURA 2016
>From Virtual Reality to 3D Internet The festival opens on October 28 with special activities in London (The Attic - Hackney Picture House), Barcelona (Arts Santa Mònica), Madrid (Espacio Fundación Telefónica) and Alicante (MACA / Centro Las Cigarreras). ArtFutura reaches its twenty-seventh edition in more than twenty cities including: Alicante, Barcelona, Buenos Aires, London, Madrid, México, Paris and Torino. Virtual Reality Second Wave and 3D Internet By the end of 2016 the new Virtual Reality interfaces will be massively marketed. What makes them special? It is the improvements in computer graphics and its combination with the technology of the smartphones. In the next 12 months is predicted that more than 15 million of these devices will be sold. Immersive Virtual Reality had its early beginnings in the early sixties but it was in the 90s, when it hit the mainstream, becoming extremely popular. In January 1990 during the first ArtFutura edition in Barcelona, the public was able to experience for the first time in Europe, a Virtual Reality prototype. It was an interface presented by Eric Gullichsen from Autodesk. And Scott Fisher, from the NASA’s Ames Research Center, showed videos of his pioneering experiments in Virtual Reality. Now in its 27th edition, ArtFutura will reflect with the perspective of all these years. Thursday 27, October 2016: • 3D Futura Show - Computer graphics.
