3. Event: XR Design Speaker Series – Featuring Ben Sax
The XR Design Subcommittee is thrilled to kick off the new XR Design Speaker Series with an exciting presentation from Ben Sax, immersive media producer and creative technologist.
Ben will take you behind the scenes of the Japantown Geospatial Project for Paper Tree Origami, which received a prestigious Auggie Award for Best Location Based Experience. As Adobe's producer for the project, Ben collaborated with XR agencies and local artists to craft an augmented reality experience that brings cultural storytelling to life. His session will showcase the production workflow behind the project and offer a special demo of Adobe’s AR prototyping tool Adobe Aero.
This session is a fantastic opportunity for designers, developers, and anyone curious about XR to learn from a leader in immersive media.
