Sunday @ 1pm slt-Kultivate Loft Gallery Presents the Art of Judilynn India

JUDIYLYNNEVENTJoin us this Sunday, April 19, 2020, from 1pm to 3pm slt at the Kultivate Loft Gallery for a special exhibition featuring Judilynn India! The dress code is casual and we will have live performer Ry Anne, along with a special performer from 2 to 3pm slt.

slurl:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Water%20Haven/28/114/32

You can learn more about Judilynn India below:

JUDILYNNI’ve been drawing since I could hold a crayon. I studied art throughout school, Commercial Art in high school and Graphic Design at Tyler School of Art/Temple University in Philadelphia, PA. . After the turn of the century, I decided to focus my creativity on acrylic and digital painting and have totally enjoyed the journey.

Known in SL as JudiLynn India and RL as Judi Lynn, my mission is to share my vision and message as an artist with the global community.
My work embodies my spirit and personality. My goal is to allow you to experience the image with your own mind’s eye. My work is entirely intuitive. I get lost in the layering of texture and color. Occasionally, I will include figurative work if my spirit is so presented with the composition.
Just as there is order in the chaos of the universe, the energy within me is brought into focus one canvas at a time.

My RL website for purchase of prints is: http://www.judilynnart.com

I can be found on FaceBook as JudiLynn India.

Enjoy! – JudiLynn India

Please visit my galleries (listed in my profile) for more of what I love to do. :>

WhiteMoth & Bryn: the Work of Pioneering Builders Cica Ghost & Bryn Oh — High Fidelity Blog

To ring in 2017, let’s taking a close look at the new work of two pioneering High Fidelity builders: Cica Ghost and Bryn Oh. Together, they’ve put their creations on the domains WhiteMoth and Bryn.Quirky, warm architecture is peppered throughout Cica’s WhiteMoth build.

Cica Ghost is an accomplished world builder with an existing following in other virtual worlds, and it was delightful to see her explore and use High Fidelity as a next-generation VR platform. This is her first build designed for exploration in true 3D virtual reality, and it’s quite fun to explore in your HMD.

NVIDIA releases its own VR game ‘Funhouse’ to the masses through Steam | TechCrunch

As of this morning, NVIDIA is in the game publishing business. In its own weird, roundabout sort of way. The company has pushed its first title out to Steam, offering players seven mini-games under the Funhouse umbrella (with a total of ten planned for eventual roll out). But while the Funhouse is as fully playable as one would expect from a Steam-distributed title, it is as much a showcase for the chipmaker’s in-game technologies as it is a proper game.That’s not to say it’s not fun. It is. It’s pretty much exactly as engaging an experience as you would expect from a septet of carnival-style VR mini-games. You whack moles, you blast balloons above clown heads with a pair of squirt guns, you break inexpensive dishware by hurling soccer balls. If you’ve spent any time in or around a boardwalk, you pretty much get the deal here.

A.I will soon use your photos to create an amazing story • Draynehub

Microsoft’s Research division has developed a new artificial intelligence system that can automatically generate stories using your photos, trying not only to explain what exactly is happening in the pictures but also to detail the context and people’s feelings.

The process of developing storytelling capabilities for photos is based on AI systems that can identify objects after learning by example, as LiveScience explains. The researchers first configured the systems to analyze a series of similar images and then look online to identify more objects that fall in the same category.

Furthermore, the Microsoft Research team turned to the Amazon Mechanical Turk, a service where people describe scenes of a batch of photos, thus having the AI systems learn them and then generate new ones by matching different pictures with different descriptions…..

Microsoft doubles down on VR and AR, positioning Windows 10 as the “the only mixed reality platform” | TechCrunch

In a keynote presentation at Computex in Taipei and a couple blog posts today, Microsoft doubled down on the mixed reality efforts spearheaded by Hololens – Windows 10, the company aims to show, is place to be when it comes to mixed reality.

Some clarification may be not unwelcome here — just what is “mixed reality,” exactly? If you think about entirely computer-generated 3D environments in VR as one extreme, and plain vanilla reality on the other, mixed reality is… well, anywhere in the middle, really. Microsoft’s point is that Windows Holographic will support the whole continuum, from light reality enhancements to total immersion – and, crucially, facilitate natural interactions between them.

Providing devices with the ability to perceive the world, breaking down the barriers between virtual and physical reality is what we call mixed reality,” wrote Terry Myerson, Microsoft’s EVP of Windows and Devices, in a blog post. “Imagine wearing a VR device and seeing your physical hands as you manipulate an object, working on the scanned 3D image of a real object, or bringing in a holographic representation of another person into your virtual world so you can collaborate….”

Watch Google’s (GOOG) keynote at its 2016 I/O conference live and in virtual reality — Quartz

Google’s developer conference is kicking off today (May 17) with a two-hour keynote.

The I/O conference is typically Google’s biggest news event of the year, where it previews and releases new technologies in an attempt to entice developers to build for its platforms.

This year, the confab is taking place in Google’s backyard. The Shoreline Amphitheater, an outdoor concert venue steps from the famed Googleplex, will host thousands of eager developers the next three days. At its keynote address, Google is expected to pull back the curtain on the next version of Android and debut a standalone virtual-reality headset.

To follow the announcements as they happen, tune into the livestream below. The keynote starts at 10 am US Pacific Time.

Here’s an added bonus for virtual-reality enthusiasts: Google will broadcast the stream in 360 degrees, so those with VR headsets (even lo-fi ones like Google Cardboard) can watch and feel like they’re actually there in the audience….

You can finally get your hands on Microsoft’s HoloLens—for a hefty price – Quartz

Just over a year ago, Microsoft announced one of the most radical products it has worked on in years: an augmented-reality headset that merges the real world with the digital, called the HoloLens. Today, the company announced that it’s finally making the headset available to developers, or anyone who can afford the price tag. The HoloLens Development Edition is available to pre-order from today, and will cost $3,000…
