SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris visited the Mobile Motion Mocap studios in Glendale, California, on Nov. 6. The studio specializes in performance capture and virtual reality for games, concerts, live shows and more.
As part of her walkthrough of the facility, Carteris spoke to the studio’s head, Irfan Merchant, and had the opportunity to learn about its technology. Toward the end of the visit, she was captured on volumetric video, an emerging technology that goes beyond 360-degree photos to give more depth and space to captured images. The video is set to be part of a demonstration to be showcased at the Jan. 21 Labor Innovation & Technology Summit, an annual event where labor union leaders and subject-matter experts discuss how emerging technologies shape today’s workforce.
Be sure to mark your calendars for SAG-AFTRA’s 3rd Annual Labor Innovation & Technology Summit to be held virtually on Thursday, Jan. 21 in partnership with the AFL-CIO. This full-day event is free and open to the public. Follow us on social media or visit sagaftra.org/labortechsummit2021 for updates and details.
