Our Company

Banging Rocks uses Emerging Media for positive impact, with an emphasis on transdisciplinary arts, and ties to several local academic organizations.

Academic Emerging Media Prospecting

Banging Rocks is seeking potential academic partners. We are looking for University based academic open labs and other open initiatives specializing in VR, AR, AI and other emerging media. Our hope is to create a network of academic partners whose open sourced works can be be fit to various applications by Banging Rocks.

This Riipen project centers on researching labs of this sort, and compiling a report on the best prospects internationally for this sort of collaboration.

The Project

Banging Rocks will provide examples of a couple of suitable organizations and discuss why they are a good fit and the basic plan for developing a network of collaborators.

Project deliverables would include both a report and any recommendations, analysis and insights the student team comes up with.

The Student

The students should have an entrepreneurial mindset, be good at research and presentation, and curious about innovative business models

Deliverables
No deliverables exist for this project.
Mentorship

Students will be added to the Banging Rocks Slack, with a dedicated support channel for the project. We will ensure any messages or emails with questions on the project are answered within 24 hours, and will provide opportunities for students to ask any questions about both the project and any other aspect of Banging Rocks’ work (from the technical to administrative to strategic) that they are interested in.

Where appropriate, we will introduce the student to members of our community that are relevant to their work.

Technology

We are dreaming of a world where next-generation mixed reality tools and experiences are readily available to all. And we mean all. Not regardless of diversity of socioeconomic, neurological and cultural factors and other aspects of identity, but specifically geared to support that range. Core to this global business perspective is treating our social and environmental impact as a primary measure of success for our business and prioritize it even in cases where it may not drive profitability.
