We know of several attendees that will have some great work in their backpack but will not be able to give us a full length presentation. As it would be a pity to miss on these works IVRPA has decided to give more opportunities for quick presentations. Also we know that there are some interesting and helpful software tricks that not everyone is aware of, and this will be a forum to share ones wisdom or learn from the others.

Prof. Denis Gadbois has been a faculty member of the University of Calgary for over 25 years now. He was trained as a product designer at Cranbrook Academy of Art Michigan and teach digital photography, 360 photography, history of design and 3D fabrication at the Department of Art. He is laso the owner of vrpanorama.ca dedicated to 360 vr.
Denis Gadbois‘ Presentation on Fine art photography will cover photography created in accordance with the vision of the artist as photographer. Focusing on artistic production that use panoramic photography, this presentation will cover a wide range of art photography that use panorama production techniques. I intend to create a correlation between art and 360 photography. Moreover, I will introduce notions of “interpreting experience” which should allow the photographer, through its content, to offer interpretations of the meaning surrounding him/her with a particular vision belonging either to an art practice or a design approach. This artistic expression can take the form of little planets but also can include virtual or real planted materials, subject matter. We also look at the photo essay as a technique to generate content for panorama.

Preparation is key to shoot situations where you only have one try. Especially taking panoramic images and video of celebrities or during red carpet events adds enough to blood pressure that one definitely wouldn’t want to worry about equipment. Learn from Torsten Hemke, who has mastered situations like these for many years, learn how he prepares for and shoots 360° panoramas at these special events.
The talk will feature topics including:
360° panoramic images are a perfect tool document and present archaeological sites. In this talk Dr. Paul Cheney from Utah Valley University will talk about how they mastered the challenges they faced when documenting an archeological excavation in Israel.

Their tools are anything but small, and so IVRPA is very proud that Thomas Rauscher and his great team from Garden Gnome Software will again be with us at the conference. In the vendors space they will be presenting and explaining all the details of their different tools, and on stage Thomas will show us a lot of new achievements and will give us a sneak peak of the next version of Pano2VR.
