What will happen when volumetric displays become as common as monitors? Will we just see cooler images from our computers or will this help cause a profound change in the way people work and socialize?

HARDWARE HACK LAB:
------------------------------
WHAT WE DO
Open space for artists & technologists to get hands-on with new technology. We supply a bunch of hardware and a chill environment so you can hack away.

We use creative coding environments like openFrameworks or Max/MSP to play with everything from webcams to Oculus Rift. People of all experience levels, from beginners to veterans are welcome here.
WARNING
This meetup has no particular structure. We don't have 'hack lab' projects. We work on whatever we, and you, bring in each week - which could be anything.
The schedule is loose, the feeling is social and non-judgemental. We are just curious and want to see your projects. So bring what you have and share!
ROSTER
Oculus, Kinect 1/2, Arduino, Leap, Glass, Depth video, Brain-Computer Interface, openFrameworks, SuperCollider, Max/MSP, vvvv, Processing.
DO YOU HAVE SPECIFIC NEEDS?
Some of these items are only available on request or particular occasions. Use the comments below and direct messages to find out if particular hardware or people with particular skills will be around that week.
If you can't confirm, still drop by and meet us. The lab is a great place to come and learn and meet people.
