The Oregon Reality Lab (OR Lab) is an interdisciplinary research and development space within the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication. Based in Portland the Silicon Forest lab researchers students and industry collaborators work together to explore the prosocial pro-environmental and business implications and applications of spatial computing platforms like augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). Come by our booth and explore some of our ongoing spatial storytelling projects:Beneath the Surface: Otter Rock Marine ReserveThe OR Lab is working with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to leverage wearable AR to engage audiences with their Marine Reserves. Leveraging the latest in wearable AR hardware – Snap Spectacles – the OR Lab is creating location-based AR experiences for the Otter Rock Marine Reserve. Learn how we are using the latest spatial storytelling techniques to bring the hidden story of our oceans above water. Eagle Creek: Fully ImmersedIn spring of 2018 our Portland-based Multimedia Journalism master’s students reported on the aftermath of the Eagle Creek Fire in the Columbia Gorge that happened a few months earlier. We captured 360 video standard video audio interviews and used aerial photography to create a photogrammetry model of the entire 75-square-mile burn area.
