running races are one of the few socially acceptable places for shouting outside and I’m loving it. what do you mean I can scream “ONE MORE MILEE, LFGG!” at mile 12 of my half and everyone will agree and shout back? loving it.

When students jump up and say ‘wow’ because their robot just moved, that’s when I feel I did something right in my teaching guidance.
Thank you @GoldmanSachs, @wandsworthclc, @AppleEDU and @GoogleForEdu — the world needs more aspiring women in engineering.

“Perspectives” — an interactive game on VR and Empathy — presented!
Thank you to @jasonkingsays @nyuprograminla, and @NYUAbuDhabi for the opportunity!
Just a beginning of exciting perspectives and more discoveries for sure :)

“Immerse. Actual participation requires a total surrender, a concentration so intense as to seem a kind of narcosis, a rapture-of-the-freeway. The mind goes clean. The rhythm takes over.” — Joan Didion, The White Album.
When code meets art — these are the immersive experiences I should strive to create as a storyteller and developer.
“You are unsure whether that was theatre, art, festival, gig, game, party, therapy. You know you want to do it again.” — Josephine Machon, “Immersive Theaters”.
Soft education + power *can* begin with sharing simple moments to evoke empathy:
“Viewers of Clouds over Sidra are simply confronted with a series of ordinary moments—people baking…families laughing…Immersive video made us feel as if we were with them” — Jeremy Bailenson.
“As people formerly known as the audience begin to take part in their own entertainment…stories become games, and games become stories” — The Art of Immersion, Rose Frank, 2011.

Just walked out of my second 3-hour class with Dr. @jasonkingsays on Immersive Experiences and let me tell you, it keeps passing like 10 minutes!
Feeling lucky to be in the right place at the right time to dive into XR and emotional education at NYU Los Angeles @nyuprograminla 🍀
