Tilt Brush虛擬實境畫展報告
全球首個虛擬實境畫展在上個周末於加州Grand Theatre舉辦，主辦單位為Tilt Brush創辦人Drew Skillman以及Patrick Hackeet跟Stefano Corazza(活動創意指導)以及OliaPospelova(製作人)。
Tilt Brush是一款改變虛擬遊戲的應用程式，贏得2014 Proto Awards的最佳圖形用戶介面。Google在今年4月收購了Tilt Brush。
The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive according to 3D artist Akin and Tilt Brush co-founder, Drew Skillman
我絕對肯定Tilt Brush有改變遊戲規則的潛力，提供新的角度來創造虛擬實境內容。參加者在8個演示站使用Oculus DK2眼鏡體驗後，反應都非常驚訝。
由Tilt Brush創作的發亮的與流動的藝術是用3D呈現，就像是現場動畫一樣的型態。
The lines of this particular virtual painting was actually moving rapidly, seeing artist painting live is super exciting!
舉例來說，Tilt Brush可以讓藝術家創作動畫虛擬藝術，例如蓬鬆的雲飄下雨滴，夜空中的星星在閃爍，瀑布從懸崖一傾而下。
由Tilt Brush創作的產品都是在3D空間流動呈現的。用Oculus DK2集合位置追蹤，觀眾可以站在繪畫的樹後方，或是站在飄著雨滴的雲下方。
We love this Roy Lichtenstein inspired virtual painting!
使用者介面非常有趣。有非常容易操作的觸控板漂浮在各個角落，當使用者還在繪畫的時候它會隱藏起來。直到使用者用滾動或擺動遙控器的時候，觸控板才會出現，非常聰明的設計！

令人驚訝地，Drew Skillman告訴我們Tilt Brush是個美麗的意外，原本團隊在製作一個擴增實境的原型，但有時候奇蹟意外出現。
HTC Vive headset and controller were used in the live demo
展覽的時候，有許多藝術家上台示範如何用Tilt Brush繪畫。現場使用了HTC Vive頭戴式顯示器以及兩個手動控制器，其他唯一需要的就是你狂野的想像力與創造力！
Still life painting using Tilt Brush, as you can see Tilt Brush can also be use to paint intricate objects in details
When asked about how steep is the learning curve for Tilt Brush?
Drew “ The user interface is intuitive….we want everyone to have fun and start drawing and painting, just like when we were kids again; think about those paintings from Bob Ross “The Joy of Painting” show, that’s our concept!”
Drew回答:使用者介面是非常值觀的，我們希望每個人都開始繪畫並從中獲得樂趣，就像回到孩童時代一樣；想想看Bob Ross的畫”繪畫的喜悅”這就是我們的概念!
當我進入Tilt Brush的虛擬環境中，我試圖探索這個虛擬環境裡面的東西，真的就像沉浸在畫家的故事當中。
想像一下未來，使用者甚至可以跟虛擬實境裡流動的物體互動、跟畫家一起即時共同創作或編輯，甚至讓每幅畫成為永不完結的故事。
