If you haven’t yet followed us on Twitter please do @3Dcamp. The official hashtag for the conference is #3Dcamp11 and we plan to have projectors in the lobby area and auditorium to provide a backchannel.

For those who can’t attend #3Dcamp11 tomorrow you’ll be delighted to learn that Applebox Media will record the two keynote presentations and publish them to the web later.

Unity is an integrated authoring tool for creating 3D video games or other interactive content, such as architectural visualizations or real-time 3D animations. In this workshop, Pat O’Hora will explore many of the features in this tool by creating a very simple Marble Madness clone game.
The workshop will be light on […]

Stephen Howell, a Computer Science Lecturer at I.T. Tallaght, will lead a workshop entitled ‘Kinect Hackables’. You can get an idea of what to expect by watching this video.

This is what Lette and Keith Moloney, the organisers of this workshop, told us about it:

“Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

For 3D-Camp, this is a beginners’ Arduino workshop […]

Miriam Lohan, the facilitator of this game/workshop, unveils her intention:
“To see how the bartering of work -skills, labour, knowledge, time - might work online, I invite you to share how you interact with others through games and ratings. Pitched somewhere between speed-dating and a county fair, the workshop will involve live play-bartering […]

Is your brain being altered due to our increasing reliance on search engines, social networking sites and other digital technologies? This is the question which Professor Billy O’Connor will pose in this lecture. Using a basic understanding of brain structure (neurology) Professor Billy O’Connor will explain the concept of ‘brain plasticity’- the ability of the […]

Conor Murphy from Caped Kola Studios will deliver a talk on ‘Social-Networking and Virtual Worlds for Children’.

Robert Fitzsimons from the Dublin hackerspace - TOG - will hold a Soldering Workshop during #3Dcamp11. The soldering activity will be €2 per person for the same LED badge as Robert had at MindField.
Robert has delivered this workshop at TOG a number of times and once at 091Labs (the Galway hackerspace).

Ronan Skehill from Cauwill will deliver an informal talk on Location Based Services (LBS). Topics covered will include: What is LBS, what is it good for? Why is LBS so important and why people want to use LBS.

Frederic Herrera from the IADT will talk about his plans to create a national cluster of all 3D-related activities (prototyping, applied research, services, products involving both research groups and SMEs/MNCs). Activities will span content development, management, and business models.
