See why almost 5,000 people have attended AT&T Workshops! 360 video and virtual reality are two of the hottest topics in entertainment right now, and what better way to get an overview of them than a free, 3-hour, hands-on AT&T workshop. Whether you are involved in filmmaking or video content creation, are a developer that wants to know about VR, or are just curious to know more about immersive 360-degree worlds, then this intro is for you! These 3-hour workshops are composed of two parts: instruction and hands-on labs.  The instructor explains the different types of “360 worlds,” whether virtual or not, and how they differ from regular stills & video, gives you an overview of the equipment needed to capture 360 video, and covers the techniques of shooting 360, including some of the unique challenges for moviemakers. For the hands-on labs, the instructor will go through a lab exercise, then give you time to do it yourself, while experts walk around to help anyone that is having problems. NO CODING IS REQUIRED   To do the following labs you will need to bring either a Windows or Mac laptop   1) adding informational elements to an existing 360 image   2) distribution of a 360 video   3) using the Unity platform to create a simple VR app by adding an interactive virtual element to a 360 image using drag-and-drop elements and scripts that we provide. Note that if you want to do the Unity lab yourself YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL UNITY PRIOR to arriving for the workshop. Instructions are shown below.    When you walk out of the workshop you will understand the elements and workflow needed to create a virtual world yourself.    Put on by AT&T and NextGen Interactions, the 3-hour, hands-on Intro to 360 Video and Virtual Reality workshop is free, but attendance is limited so register soon.  WE ARE HOLDING 2 IDENTICAL SESSIONS, so choose the one that works best for you. Since we expect to fill both workshops we ask that you only register for one session. AFTERNOON: Mon, Sept 18 (same as evening session) Registration: 12:30 – 1 Workshop: 1 – 4  EVENING: Mon, Sept 18 (same as afternoon session) Registration: 5:30 - 6 Workshop: 6 - 9  PHOTO ID REQUIRED TO GET INTO VENUE   In cooperation with the NY Indie Filmmakers and NYC VR University meetups.   Join the AT&T New York Tech & Entertainment - Workshops & Competitions meetup to stay up to date on future AT&T events.  Visit our website to sign up for the AT&T Developer Program and subscribe to our newsletter to stay up-to-date on all of our free events from hackathons and filmmaking experiences, to workshops like this “Intro to 360 video and Virtual Reality.”   -----------------------------------------------  Installing Unity We will not be going through the Unity installation during the workshop.  Unity install is entirely OPTIONAL and only required if you want to repeat the instructor steps during the lab. Setup must be done PRIOR to the workshop if you want to do the lab.   If you wish to just observe the instructor, then you do not need to install Unity. To install Unity, go to this link: https://unity3d.com/get-unity/download/archive Look for Unity 5.6.1. To the right of Unity 5.6.1, click on the dropdown menu for Downloads (Win). Then click Unity Installer. Other versions of Unity might not look the same as the lab book or support the same functionality.    Doing this will redirect you to a download link, click Save File.   Once the download is complete, go to the download location and run the installer. To do the lab in the lab exercise book, the minimal install is Unity and Standard Assets.  Installing other components is at your discretion and may significantly increase install space required and time to install.   Follow the instructions it gives until completed.
