THE STUDIO // What a night! Thank you to everyone who came through our Studio Opening for @firstfridaysc in @theoldwrigleybuilding ! It felt great to share the new space with our neighbors, collaborators, and partners and to see people of all ages play in our interactive digital sandbox. Special thanks to all of our collaborators and partners who helped this all come together. This was just the first of many First Friday events to come - we hope you’ll join us next month for another night in The Studio. Details to come soon! 📸 @_roberto_thunder #firstfriday #immersivetech #immersiveart #interactivestudio #eventtech #lightingdesign #screensproducing #madewithnotch #notchvfx #blacktrax #castsoftware #firstfridaysantacruz

Innovation in Motion: Virtual Air Hockey ✨ At #LDI2024 in Las Vegas, we teamed up with the AVStumpfl/Pixera crew to debut something pretty cool—our Virtual Air Hockey experience. By combining Pixera, Notch, and BlackTrax tech, we gave this classic game a high-tech twist. Players faced off on a 4ft x 8ft surface, using custom-built hockey sticks with BlackTrax beacons for spot-on tracking. All that data was powered through Pixera Control into Notch, delivering smooth, 120fps gameplay with real-time physics. We’re pumped to share that Virtual Air Hockey will be making its next appearance at ISE in just two weeks! Stay tuned—we’re just getting started with pushing the limits of interactive experiences.

We explored the West Side during First Friday on May 1st this month! There’s always some excitement happening in @theoldwrigleybuilding - so much to see and experience contained in that space. We stopped by @visualendeavors where an immersive video experience was taking place - and @rblitzergallery for the @codasantacruz gallery. Then we popped into @santacruzclay where we could peruse all the incredible wares in a multi-artist showcase / market. Where’d you go on First Friday? — 🎥🎞️ @wendyspresso

VE was invited to collaborate with the talented team at @the.playground.creative to build a real time IMAG package in @notchvfx for punk rock legends Green Day. The show unfolded across three acts, with the band performing through their iconic albums Dookie, American Idiot, and Saviors. The stage design featured towering amp walls, oversized inflatable set pieces, and plenty of pyro—creating a high-energy environment to match the scale of the performance. CREDITS

The Mono Tour is a visually audible journey through K.Flay’s experience of losing hearing in one ear, told in three acts: Normality, Duo, and Mono. Partnering with @the.playground.creative , we produced the visuals for a show built on illusion, atmosphere, and impact. Using @notchvfx triggered via the lighting console, we were able to sync real-world fixtures with virtual lighting, blurring the line between stage and screen. Select moments layered stylized footage of K.Flay over her live performance to create a duality between the physical and projected performer. The show was driven by two PixelCannon media servers that powered real-time Notch scenes with Nvidia Pro GPUs and a custom TouchDesigner patch.
