Another year of\u00a0Swell Things<\/em>\u00a0guest post are back\u00a0and I\u2019m excited to present this collection of bookmarks\u00a0from my husband\u00a0Jason Fletcher<\/a>. As a Science Visualizer for the Charles Hayden Planetarium at the Museum of Science, Jason has been focusing on the growth of VR and 360\u00ba video. Check out his blog,\u00a0The Fulldome Blog<\/a>, to read more about interests surrounding the planetarium community. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0This is a short film called Waiting Far Away<\/em><\/a>, I created as a backburner project at the planetarium. It\u2019s about an explorer of the cosmos has traveled much too far… And can’t find his way home.
\n2.\u00a0And I just can\u2019t ignore Missy Elliott<\/a>. She\u2019s so weird and I love her style.
\n3.\u00a0Wanderers<\/em><\/a> is a vision of humanity’s expansion into the Solar System, based on scientific ideas and concepts of what our future in space might look like. The locations depicted in the film are digital recreations of actual places in the Solar System, built from real photos and map data where available.
\n4.\u00a0Black Snake in Sacred Waters<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is a VR documentary about the North Dakota Oil Pipeline protest. It\u2019s powerful to watch as one of the crowd.
\n5.\u00a0Mathew Borrett<\/a> creates wonderful labyrinthine drawings of interconnected rooms within blank space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Constructive Interference<\/a><\/em> is a sculpture designed to mystify the senses. It\u2019s a static object that appears, impossibly, to be moving.
\n7.\u00a0While astronauts are onboard the ISS they often take photos<\/a> of earths surface for scientists to study. But each day they have some free time to relax and sometimes they experiment with long exposure photography.
\n8.\u00a0Goro Fujita wanted to experiment with the infinite canvas of \u201cQuill\u201d, a VR painting app. This wonderful piece is appropriately named Worlds in Worlds<\/em><\/a>.
\n9.\u00a0Jonty Hurwitz<\/a> creates anamorphic sculptures which can only be understood when viewed through a cylindrical mirror. So it\u2019s both an abstract and realistic sculpture at the same time.
\n10.\u00a0Stardust<\/a><\/em> is a story about Voyager 1, which is the unmanned spacecraft launched in 1977 to explore the outer solar system. The probe is the furthest man-made object from the sun and witnesses unimaginable beauty and destruction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
