Emerging Technology Faculty Workshop: 3D Scanning

Faculty Research Space, Pomerantz Center, Room D524 Fashion Institute of Technology, 227 West 27th Street, New York City, NY, United States

Capture the things you love—a shoe, a sculpture, a corner of a room—and place them in a small, navigable scene. We’ll teach a simple photo dance (how many shots, where to stand, what light to find) that produces clean results. You’ll see two flavors of capture—traditional meshes and newer “splat/NeRF” looks—and when each makes sense. […]

Emerging Technology Faculty Workshop: Augmented Reality (AR)

Faculty Research Space, Pomerantz Center, Room D524 Fashion Institute of Technology, 227 West 27th Street, New York City, NY, United States

Imagine pointing your phone at a poster or package and watching it come alive—no app install, just a link. We’ll start from a template, add your model, and practice the tiny habits that make AR load quickly and behave well. You’ll test on different phones, add a simple on-screen prompt, and learn how to share […]

Emerging Technology Faculty Workshop: Virtual Beings and Motion Capture

Faculty Research Space, Pomerantz Center, Room D524 Fashion Institute of Technology, 227 West 27th Street, New York City, NY, United States

Meet your digital presenter—designed by you, animated by your face and your movement, all from a phone. We’ll help you build a MetaHuman, capture a short performance, and assemble a tiny scene that feels alive. No coding: just clear steps, a few buttons, and some theater-class tips on framing and voice. You’ll see how a […]

Emerging Technology Faculty Workshop: Interactive Mirror

Faculty Research Space, Pomerantz Center, Room D524 Fashion Institute of Technology, 227 West 27th Street, New York City, NY, United States

Turn a blank wall into a responsive, playful mirror that notices you and answers back with light. We’ll start from a ready-to-go project, swap in effects, and map the image neatly to your surface with tape-and-test simplicity. Wave a hand, step forward, tilt your phone slider—watch it react in real time. We’ll share small showcraft […]

Emerging Technology Faculty Workshop: Sculpting in Virtual Reality

Faculty Research Space, Pomerantz Center, Room D524 Fashion Institute of Technology, 227 West 27th Street, New York City, NY, United States

Put on a headset and treat the air like a sketchbook—draw shapes, pull surfaces, and feel your idea take volume around you. We’ll turn that playful sketch into a tidy, printable form using a few friendly settings and a short checklist. You’ll learn just enough about “walls,” supports, and orientation to make the printer happy […]
