Ben Efram

Ben is an immersive media and graphic simulation expert dedicated to the intersections of art and science. As a volunteer at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science since January 2017, he has worked alongside an incredibly talented and experienced team of immersive technologists. His main goals have been to thoroughly understand the hardware and software components that drive planetarium A/V systems, and answer questions about best methods and practices in the open source and consumer-level realm of fulldome tools.

His 2019 Summit workshop will provide an overview to TouchDesigner's mapping and content creation features in relation to the fulldome medium. Topics of discussion include: basic mapping procedures, the ease of openGL content creation, maximizing hardware performance, and UX/UI interactivity
