Remember what the future was supposed to be like?
How does that future compare to today? As the GVU Center celebrated over 25 years, this exhibition highlights some of the research milestones of GVU’s rich contributions.
We are living in the future! This is how we got here.
The exhibition covers Graphics, Animation, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Visualization, Visual Analytics, Ubiquitous Computing, Wearable Computing and User Interface Software. Experts explain what they thought technology and computing interactions would be like when they started working 25 years ago and compare those ideas with what we have today.
As GVU Center began in the 1990’s I was interested in capturing colors and patterns from that time to make the cone ten of the exhibition come alive. I used spray paint and stencils to create the backdrops and vignettes for the devices and artifacts.
