Visit Christchurch�s HIT Lab and make a right orc of yourself! The Human Interface Technology Lab based at the University of Canterbury is holding an Open House on September 16 from 4pm to 7pm. Anyone interested in catching up on the Lab�s latest leading edge technologies is welcome to attend. There is also a special session for school children only, from 2pm to 4pm.
One of the major attractions will be a Lord of the Rings interactive motion capture experience, where visitors move in front of a huge screen and are recreated as a virtual orc, elf or hobbit. The display shows how creatures like Gollum were created for The Lord of the Rings. The technology was developed with Wellington-based company Story! Inc for use in the Te Papa Lord of the Rings exhibition currently showing at the Boston Museum of Science. The exhibition is proving a real hit, with more than 100,000 tickets sold so far. Other projects that will be demonstrated at the Open House include: Puredepth, TankWar, AR Urban Design, AR Astronomy, and FingARtips.
