Join us for "Stacks Exchange: Field notes" a new graduate student series on collecting/using data in creative ways across all disciplines

Talks might spotlight a core technical idea, method, or framework. From an industrial or home-brew LLM to cutting-edge VR technologies attendees can expect not only technical curiosity but also practical how-to field notes from peers. 

In this presentation, Luis will examine his past 3D Virtual Reality (VR) projects and ideas on archaeological and historic structures, workshopping how we can connect embodiment and space of the past with VR while navigating what are essentially critical tabulations.
