Register for it here. “Without a clear understanding of the human side of virtual reality, the experience will always fail.” (Jason Jerald) Designing for virtual reality is an incredibly complex challenge. When done well, these experiences can be brilliant and pleasurable, but when done badly, they can result in frustration and sickness. In this free 3-hour workshop Jason Jerald, author of The VR Book: Human-Centered Design for Virtual Reality and Co-Founder & Principal Consultant of NextGen Interactions, through a combination of use cases and demonstrations will show how users perceive and intuitively interact with various forms of reality, discuss the causes of VR sickness, and demonstrate how to employ useful and pleasing content to create an immersive experience. When you leave the workshop, you will understand virtual reality from the human experience perspective, allowing you to better create – or simply appreciate – powerful VR applications, whether for entertainment, education, science, healthcare, or the myriad of other uses of this new and exciting technology. This workshop is for everyone, whether a developer, content creator, filmmaker, or simply someone interested in knowing more about VR. RAFFLE!

The events are free and we will be serving lunch or dinner.  So bring your Windows or Mac laptop and join us for an afternoon or evening of learning, coding, socializing, and eating!   Schedule (all sessions have the same content) Afternoon session: 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.      Registration & lunch        1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.        AT&T IoT Coding Workshop   Evening session:               5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.        Registration & dinner 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.        AT&T IoT Coding Workshop   Partnering with the Girl Develop It LA and Women Who Code LA meetups.   Join the AT&T Los Angeles Coding Workshops & Hackathons meetup or the OC Coding Workshops & Hackathons meetup to stay up to date on future AT&T events.  Venue Join us at AT&T's DIRECTV campus. Previous DevLabs All attendees are expected to abide by the Girl Develop It Code of Conduct.   Technical Details for Lab Exercises (please set up ahead of time) Note that though M2X, Flow Designer, and TI LaunchPads work with most operating systems, only Mac OS and Windows are supported during the DevLab.   Installing Postman and cURL for the Lab Exercises The lab exercises use Postman and cURL so please install them before the event.   Postman We will use cURL for the M2X API lab exercises but you can also use Postman (a free Chrome add-in) if you prefer. You can download Postman at http://www.getpostman.com and the Chrome browser at http://www.google.com/chrome.     cURL For the lab exercises we will use cURL, a powerful command-line tool for making HTTP calls. Pre-requisites: Windows 7 or later (cURL is already installed on Mac computers) Downloading curl Use the following steps to install curl: Open http://curl.haxx.se/dlwiz?type=bin in a browser. Select your operating system in the dropdown box: either Windows /Win32 or Win 64. Click Select! For Win 32, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or in a Cygwin terminal (cygwin). For Win 64, choose whether you will use curl in a Windows Command Prompt (Generic) or MinGW (MinGW64). Click Select! If required, choose your Windows operating system. Finish. Click Download for the version which has SSL enabled. Choose a version with support for SSL. Open the downloaded zip file. Extract the files to an easy-to-find place, such as C:\Program Files. Testing curl Open up the Windows Command Prompt terminal. (From the Start menu, click Run, then type cmd.) Set the path to include the directory where you put curl.exe. For example, if you put it in C:\Program Files\curl, then you would type the following command: set path=%path%;"c:\Program Files\curl" Type curl. You should see the following message: curl: try 'curl –help' or 'curl –message' for more information This means that curl is installed and the path is correct. Type: curl https://api-m2x.att.com/v2/status?pretty You should see JSON returned: {   "api":"OK",   "triggers":"OK" }    Setting Up the Energia IDE The Energia IDE allows you to communicate with the TI device. Follow these steps to download it and set it up. Download Energia for your platform from here: http://energia.nu/download/ Unzip and run Energia. From the Tools menu, choose Board and then Launchpad w/ msp432 EMT (48 MHz)
