46 – ‘Star Wars’ in VR - a podcast by ACM SIGGRAPH

ABOUT THE EPISODE
Thanks for joining us for another SIGGRAPH Spotlight! In this episode, SIGGRAPH 2022 Immersive Pavilion Chair Derek Ham (department head and associate professor of art + design, NC State University) sits down with two SIGGRAPH 2021 contributors from ILMxLAB, lead UI artist Mary Huang and interactive audio supervisor Kevin Bolen. Through the lens of “Vader Immortal” and “Tales From the Galaxy’s Edge,” Huang and Bolen discuss the audio and design process for expanding the “Star Wars” universe into VR, and they share some of their favorite scenes in these interactive experiences. Plus, they even hint at what’s next for “Star Wars” in VR.

This episode is brought to you by SIGGRAPH 2021 conference partner, AWS.
