BIG DAY FOR PUPPET
It only stands to reason that a company that started its life as Reductive Labs would wind up reducing the complexity of their name. But that’s one of the many things that Puppet—yeah, it’s just Puppet now—announced today.

THE DESIGN OF VR
It’s been a while since we’ve had a new communications platform. One that is new and different and motivates us to think about new ways of designing. And creating content. And experiences. But we’re seeing more and more of that happening with our reality, both augmented and virtual. That’s where Oregon Story Board alum WILD is playing. And now you can too.

MORE FLAVORS OF REALITY
One good story deserves another, so speaking of Oregon Story Board… Virtual Reality isn’t the only reality they’re exploring in Portland. Following up on the grant they garnered from Microsoft, the digital storytelling accelerator now offers Augmented Reality development training specifically designed for the Microsoft HoloLens environment.
