On Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at Purnell Center's Chosky Theater, we at the Entertainment Technology Center will present the annual Building Virtual Worlds Show. From virtual reality to audience interaction and everything imaginable in between, this live showcase of the most impressive student work from the semester is truly a must-see event!
Over the course of this semester, BVW students are collaborating in four-person interdisciplinary teams to create a series of virtual worlds, each of which must be completed within a one to three week time period. We look forward to sharing a variety of these worlds with you.
This year the ETC is very excited to announce the addition of a second BVW Show to accommodate the ever growing number of guests who want to experience this one of a kind event! For the first time ever there will be a 2:30 pm show that is open to the public, on Wednesday December 2nd in the Chosky Theatre. This show is “first come first serve” with the doors opening at 2:00 pm.
The second show will be on December 2nd at 6:00 pm and is strictly a ticketed event by invitation only.
We are pleased to announce that the Wyndham Hotel will have a complimentary shuttle available upon request for all of their guests until 11:00PM the night of the show. Be sure to ask for the Carnegie Mellon University rate at this and all local hotels. More hotel details can be found here
If you are not able to join us in Pittsburgh, please join us live on the web at 6pm December 2nd. Please check back closer to the show for the web address of show. Thanks! We look forward to seeing you at the Show!
