VAF-SESSIONS – PETER FISHER

Description in english below
Khora-inside: Hvordan bliver et XR-projekt til?
I denne VAF-session kigger vi på det helt essentielle inden for XR-produktioner. Med udgangspunkt i næsten 10 års arbejde gennemgår Khoras CTO og medstifter de centrale trin i arbejdsprocessen: planlægning, realtids VR/AR-opbygninger, renderede VR-elementer, 360°-filmning og blanding af grafik i sfærisk video.
Under foredraget viser Peter konkrete eksempler, forklarer mere om produktionsmetoder og brugsscenarier i branchen og viser, hvordan man udvinder reel værdi fra XR, samtidig med at man undersøger, hvad der ikke fungerer, og hvordan man navigerer i mediets tilbagevendende hype-cyklusser.
Kom og vær med i Poul Gernes-foredragssalen.
Alle VAF Sessions foregår på engelsk og henvender sig til talenter og studerende inden for film, spil og animation.
ENGLISH
This VAF-session strips XR-production down to the essentials. Drawing on nearly 10 years of work, Khora’s CTO & co‑founder walks through the core steps: planning, real‑time VR/AR builds, rendered VR pieces, 360° filming, and blending graphics into spherical video.
The talk presents concrete examples, explains production methods and industry use‑cases, and shows how to extract real value from XR, while also examining what doesn’t work and how to navigate the medium’s recurring hype cycles.
Join us at Poul Gernes lecture hall at VIA University College, Viborg.
