Creating for immersive isn’t scary. In fact, take comfort in knowing that no one’s a master at XR. The immersive space is constantly growing and changing, no matter your experience, you will always be learning. Be curious and open for what’s next!
At Texas Immersive, we offer FREE workshops every semester. Each workshop is a deep dive into a technology that’s relevant to immersive as a practice and they are open to everyone regardless of their experience level, major, or background!
We are happy to welcome our friends from Playbook! Playbook’s API streams 3D scene data into diffusion based workflows. They will showcase their web editor and Blender plugin that enables controllable and IP-consistent image and video generation for creative tasks.
They will also discuss their initial journey starting Playbook initially as a university capstone project, show previous iterations, discuss how they raised VC from top tier investors and angels, and how they won an Auggie Award at the Augmented World Expo for “Best Startup to Watch.”
