comments : james benson tindall , sr . , began his career as a businessman at brown ' s landing ( now hatton ) in 1906 when he rented brown ' s store and renamed it ' j . b . tindall ' s groceries . ' in 1914 , tindall purchased the store from brown ' s descendants and managed it until his death in 1945 . this store was built on a strong foundation comprised of large stones that brown took from the james river and kanawha canal lock about one - half mile away . when tindall took the store over , there was a large stone outside its front door , which quite likely came from the old canal lock . the stone stood in full sun during the day and afforded tindall an outstanding location to grow tomatoes from seed . he filled a box with manure , planted tomatoes in it , and sat it on the sun - washed rock to thrive every year until just before he died in 1945 . tindall enjoyed great success with his tomato plants and gave away his extra plants free to customers who admired them . shown at right is tindall ' s son , jim , jr . , in 1919 as he posed for a photo on his father ' s tomato stone .
this country store sold dry goods , groceries , pills , baking soda and sugar in barrels , clothes , hardware , shoes , kerosene oil , and fresh produce with customers across the river in buckingham and the surrounding albemarle countryside . when the store ' s grocery shelves needed restocking , tindall rode the train to richmond and shopped at several wholesale houses there . he would get to richmond about 8am and catch the 5 pm train back to hatton , a three hour ride away . drummers also came to hatton to take orders for dry goods and shoes ; tindall would measure men for suits and hand the drummer a suit order to be placed . twice a year , the shoe salesman arrived via train from st . louis , missouri , to take shoe orders .

wanted to cater to people of refinement and culture
( spring lake gazette , july 6 , 1923 ) and so in 1882 , he purchased three lots on third avenue . he had originally hoped to locate near the railroad station where there were already a number of stores , but the owner of the property he was considering did not want a store on the property . o . h . brown had naturally good taste which was augmented by his frequent buying trips to europe . his store was an immediate success , and he was soon shipping merchandise to all parts of this country .

clayton ' s also provided a taxi service which would pick up guests at the train station and then deliver them to the hotels .
this was the original dale ' s . it could hold about 25 people so every night people would line up outside waiting to get in . because it was so crowded , there was a delivery service . guests at the hotels and residents of spring lake would call in their orders . dale ' s advertisements in the spring lake gazette were rather unusual . he advertised :
keep your wife as a pet . eat at dale ' s
and
we cheat you less than the others . eat at dale ' s
.

when the automobile became the popular mode of transportation , the stable became a garage . because cars cannot be parked over night on the streets in spring lake , there was a need for places to store the autos that the wealthy summer guests brought with them . hotel guests would use their cars to go out to dinner or to see a show and then turn in their keys to the main desk . the main desk would then call the garage to have the car picked up . clayton ' s took care of the automobiles of the shoreham ' s and lakeview ' s guests . they charged $ 2 . 00 a night to store the vehicle and then returned it in the morning to the hotel . so many cars were stored in the garage that the drivers had to crawl out the windows because there wasn ' t enough room to open the doors .
in 1891 , brown purchased stock in a mining company that soon struck gold and he suddenly became very rich . they moved to denver in 1894 and margaret filled her house with expensive furniture and decorations from around the world . she enjoyed being in the local spotlight and an important part of denver society .
the order would then be delivered to the customer ' s home . some customers would send a letter to casagrande ' s telling the market when the staff would arrive at the summer home and include a list of items they wished to have stocked in the pantry for the opening of the house for the season .

, spring lake design assistance committee , 1995 .
one of the early businesses on third avenue , bennett and height served the people and hotels of spring lake from the early 1890 ' s until the late 1960 ' s . before the days of refrigerated cases , bennett and height erected a large cold storage plant in manasquan in which to keep their meat . in the back section of this building was a . stulz giford and sons seafood . the butcher block was here after bennett & height ' s , followed by a number of banks .
he later moved his business to third avenue and replaced his horses with trucks . during good weather , baskets of fruits and vegetables lined the sidewalk in front of his store . these outdoor displays were very attractive to customers but also to a dalmation who lived down the street and belonged to a competitor . micky thought manahan ' s lettuces were irresistible and so he stole one every morning and brought it home to eat .
there was much activity in and around the store , ferry , and train station . two railroad tracks ran through hatton : the mainline and a sidetrack . often forty wagons a day , loaded with railroad ties , would cross the river via the hatton ferry from timber - rich buckingham . railroad ties or pulpwood was stacked between the landing road and the railroad track and left there to dry to reduce rail transportation costs . when the wood was dried , the railroad inspected the ties and paid tindall about $ 1 per tie . the ties were then loaded on freight cars for shipment . much of the pulpwood at hatton went to buena vista or covington . tindall hauled surplus ties to lexington where coal mine operators purchased them for shoring up mine tunnels .
after the second world war , more people made spring lake their permanent home . today , most spring lakers are year round residents and third avenue ' s businesses stay open all year .
this store which specialized in foreign and domestic groceries , was established in 1884 . staple and fancy groceries were offered as well as wines and imported liquors . his business was once located on jersey avenue but as the third avenue began to flourish , mr . getsinger purchased this property .
this was an old business established near the end of the 19th century . it was a two - story wood frame building which is what all the businesses were at that time . the driveway to the south of the building today , was originally the coal lot . there was a 100 horse power coal fed boiler used to clean the laundry . there had to be an engineer in attendance 24 hours a day to keep the boiler fed and regulated . before bleach , whites had to be boiled to keep them white . the laundry for the hotels and the bath and tennis club was done here as well as the laundry for some of the hotels in avon , and private residences in the area . two types of laundry were done here , wet wash and flat wash . wet wash involved washing the laundry , spinning it dry , and delivering it damp in laundry bags to private homes in town where it would be ironed by the household staff or the lady of the house . flat wash was washed , spun dry , and ironed before delivery .
by the time the carpathia reached new york , she had established the survivor ' s committee , been elected the chair and raised almost $ 10 , 000 for those who had lost everything .
this coffee shop was a mom and pop store owned by eveline and manny . because they didn ' t drive , they came to work each morning in a taxi . most of the family was involved in the business . their son rick ran the counter and their grandchildren worked in the kitchen .
myron o . morris was otto morris ' s son and served as borough clerk for 38 years . because he was the borough clerk , a lot of borough business was conducted in the real estate office .
manny had come to this country as a young man from south america . he went to new orleans and found a job on a ocean liner as a pastry chef . when the voorhees bakery closed , eveline and manny decided that spring lake needed a place to get fresh baked goods so they opened their coffee and sandwich shop . everything was home made , the soups , the pastries and the sandwiches . they picked a perfect location for their business , right across the street from the bus stop . early morning commuters to new york would pop in for a cup of coffee and a homemade doughnut .
because mr . crisanti was a perfectionist who never took shortcuts , his customers were very loyal . some of mr . crisanti ' s customers included jim ameche , gil mcdougald , a former yankee infielder , and mayor frank marucci .
originally located in a small wood building in the middle of the block on the east side , the business was established by orazio marucci in 1900 . orazio had come to this country from riccia , italy . he stayed in new york for a short time before moving to spring lake to start the family tailoring and dry cleaning business . his son otto morris ( he changed his last name ) was actually the first in the family to come to spring lake . in 1882 , he opened the otto morris shaving parlor near the railroad depot . he told his father that he would not go back to new york , so orazio came to spring lake .
the store also contained the hatton post office for which tindall was the appointed postmaster . some customers came four times a week to pick up their mail ; others , once a week on a trip that coincided with their need to buy groceries or other supplies . tindall employed several young men to help with such store duties as taking orders or stocking shelves . johnny jones , a young black man , came to work for tindall at age 15 and was of invaluable assistance . johnny could not read , but he excelled at stocking grocery shelves by matching the labels . he also was extremely honest ; if he found a piece of change on the floor , johnny would put it on the cash register with the statement ,
' tain ' t mine !
one day a customer found a coin on tindall ' s floor and started to put it in his pocket . johnny saw him do it and said matter - of - factly ,
tain ' t yours !
i also found people who were interested in the history of spring lake , and they shared their research with the society . if you wish to know more about third avenue or spring lake ' s history , these are the people to talk to :
hills ' pharmacy with its cool and inviting porch
( spring lake gazette , july 11 , 1902 ) was a popular spot during the summer with spring lake residents and summer guests . here they enjoyed the ice cream soda for which hills had become famous . the store had a soda fountain , a prescription department , choice confections , druggists sundries , and a public telephone in 1902 .
the burkes had a soda fountain in their store which served soda , ice cream and sandwiches . customers could be served at the fountain or on the patio under the portico . the door which led to the patio can still be seen , although it is now boarded up . jerry fabrey operated the soda fountain and later opened his own soda fountain and lucheonette down the street , one block south .
at one time , there were two a & p ' s in town simultaneously . this was the big a & p . it seems unusual to us today to have two a & p ' s , meat markets , fruit and vegetable markets , and fish markets on the same street . this was before large supermarkets . markets tended to be small and specialized . also , before refrigerators , people kept their food in ice boxes and so bought only enough food for the day . summer guests brought their entire households with them and so large amounts of food had to be purchased daily .

this was a favorite with the kids of spring lake because it was a good place to buy toys and novelties . almost every child invited to a birthday party in the 40 ' s bought his gift at this shop . the proprietors were mollie and birdie and there was a white elephant in the corner with a big yellow bow tied around its neck . tb shop here was an adventure for young spring lakers because the shop was dark , a little spooky , and filled with the scent of incense . two black cats used to sit in the windows .

in 1830 a trading post was established for the indians on the east shore of walled lake . it was kept by two men , king and prentice .
anse austin and isaac taylor also did a mercantile business , in later years , occupying a small red building adjacent to the hotel kept by jesse tuttle .

margaret tobin was born on 18 july 1867 to irish immigrants john and johanna and attended a grammar school run by her aunt mary o ' leary .
her husband soon became one of the most important and wealthiest mining men in the state as he turned his silver mine over to producing gold in 1893 to combat the 90 per cent unemployment rate in leadville .
at 11 : 40 pm on 14 april a crewmember spotted an iceberg , but it was too late . three hours later the titanic sank to the bottom of the atlantic ocean . of the more than two thousand passengers on board only seven hundred survived , as the titanic did not have enough lifeboats for all the passengers and crew .
margaret was one of the lucky ones who survived . when they were rescued by the carpathia , she worked tirelessly , helping the other survivors by handing out food , drinks and blankets . as the ship arrived in new york , margaret found herself in the spotlight , as everyone had already heard about her bravery and good deeds .
when world war i broke out , margaret travelled to france and helped establish a relief station for the soldiers .
she was awarded the french legion of honour in 1932 for her work for titanic survivors , her organisation of the alliance francais and her relief efforts during the war .
like a kid in a sweet shop , danny gets super excited as he sets eyes on a legendary collection of cars .

when the historical society began working on this tour , i began searching for a 120 year old spring laker to talk to . such a person could not he found , but i was able to find a number of people who knew a good deal about spring lake and third avenue . many had been born in spring lake and had spent all of their lives here . others had spent much of their lives , or many summers in spring lake . fortunately , all had good memories and had been very observant while growing up .
j . a . osborn livery and boarding stables ( extended from where the spring lake pizzeria is today , to the corner of passaic and third ) built in 1876 , this was one of several livery stables in spring lake . most people arrived by train and needed a means of getting about once they got here . others arrived in their own carriages and needed a place to board their horses . an early description stated :
his stables are large , well ventilated and particularly well adapted for the accommodation of boarders . . . about twenty head of good horses are hired to responsible parties for business or pleasure driving and experienced and careful drivers provided if desired . . . the carriages are newly painted and rubber tired . . .
spring lake gazette , july 11 , 1902
mr . charles lewis purchased the land the livery stable had been on , in 1920 and erected this business building a short time later . it was home to many fine stores and the colonial tea room which was located where kate & co . is now . the tea room served lunch and dinner and ice cream out on the patio during the summer .
it is fondly remembered for the beautiful view of divine park that could be enjoyed with the meal .
frank , another son , took over the tailoring business at age 14 having apprenticed as a tailor at brooks brothers in new york city . in 1910 , frank built the marucci building as a new modern facility for the tailor shop . he used the northern half of the building for his shop and rented out the southern half .
frank marucci served as a borough councilman from 1916 - 1936 , and as the mayor from 1936 until his death on dec . 15 , 1956 . he was well thought of , and was elected for 40 consecutive years . in 1959 , marucci memorial park was dedicated and named in his honor .
otto morris built the building to include the otto morris shaving parlor and a theater . above the theater there was a ballroom . years after , criso crisanti bought the building .
an earlier location of this business was the northwest corner of morris and third avenues . the business later moved to the southeast corner of morris and third . criso crisanti started working as a shoemaker with his father at the age of 5 in sorano , italy ( about 150 miles north of rome ) . he would get up at 5 a . m . and work several hours before going to school . during world war i , he served in the italian army ( then fighting on the allied side ) . he was captured by the austrians in the alps and held as a prisoner of war . in 1919 he emigrated to the united states with little money and even less english . after working as a cobbler in cranford , roselle park , and belmar , he moved to spring lake in 1925 . in that same year , mr . crisanti returned to italy and married his childhood sweetheart , fausta . she was not able to join her husband in spring lake until 1927 when mr . crisanti was able to get the necessary papers .
apparently , it was difficult to tell the triplets apart . an accomplished runner challenged one of the burke brothers to a long distance race from lakewood to asbury park . the challenger expected to win hands down and was very surprised to see that the burke brother had finished the race , and even more surprised by the fact that the burke brother seemed to have handled the race so much better than the challenger had . what the challenger didn ' t know is that the three brothers kept changing places during the race .

virtual festivals

go behind the scenes with king charles and virtual festivals . virtual festivals will be following charles as he plays at most of this year ' s festivals in the uk and europe , getting the inside track . . .
virtual festivals review : 10 / 10 we ' ve got a fantastic achievement under our belt . this is the second time in bažant pohoda ' s history that we got the highest score from the respected uk portal virtual festivals . according to author of the article , “pohoda delivers the perfect festival package . ”
virtual festivals has published reports and reviews from festivals since 1999 . currently , more than 200 journalists write reviews on festivals such as glastonbury , t in the park , isle of wight , reading or leeds festival for the website on a regular basis . 19th year of bažant pohoda was reviewed by jon wright :
setting the stage for summer fun : the best websites for . . . music festivals
marking the festivals ' 70 th anniversary year , the virtual tour mixes abstracted digital modelling of edinburgh and short bbc archive highlights - all at the control of the viewer’s gaze .
the great british summer has come to a premature end for the folks at reading and leeds festivals .
we’re big fans of the potential of virtual , but a lot have wondered : how does it work ? well , we’re not the first to have ventured into this field , so here’s a look at some festivals and events in the virtual world to have come before us to give you an idea of what goes on .
now that more industries and artists are exploring virtual reality technology , they are also showing off their work and products at conferences and festivals . one of the best ways to keep up with what is going on in any industry is attending events such as these where you can hear from the pros , take workshops , see films and test equipment and new products . while there aren’t many vr - only festivals , several of the major film and entertainment festivals are devoting time and space to vr practitioners . here is new york film academy’s roundup of festivals to put on your list :
from the website : “the virtual reality festival ( vrf ) is a community based organization dedicated to the development and expansion of virtual reality , augmented reality and other immersive entertainment technologies for use by both studio and independent artists , technologists , content creators , game designers and their audiences . ”
a new virtual reality app , supported by creative scotland and bbc scotland , is celebrating the craziness and vibrancy of the world’s biggest arts festival .
the awards are the chance for the people who invest colossal amounts of work and creativity making music festivals happen , to be recognised for their efforts .
edinburgh 70 is an immersive dip into the edinburgh festivals via the bbc archive , created by digital artists dennis & debbie club and designed for gear vr .
kaleidoscope produces events around the world that showcase the best in virtual reality from independent artists . each season kaleidoscope produces curated , traveling exhibitions of work from vr creators around the world .
each uses different visual language and ways of directing the viewers ' eyes to points of distinction . these are the threads of a virtual cinematic language that may someday be woven into a whole - cloth approach .
found by christopher crescitelli in 2014 , vr fest is a fully - curated touring virtual reality film and immersive technology festival . the festival co - sponsors with extreme tech challenge ( xtc ) and maitai global on a the global vr competition called the extreme virtual reality challenge , where vr / ar pioneers and entrepreneurs compete for a cash prize and a chance to display their work at the vr lounge on sir richard branson’s private necker island during the xtc finals event .
“this kind of experience is only possible in virtual reality . we’ve been able to build a surreal collage of geography , history and entertainment – and it’s all going on all around you . you can’t really convey that in any other medium .
founded in 1987 in austin , texas , sxsw is best known for its conference and festivals that celebrate the convergence of the interactive , film , and music industries . the sxsw conference provides networking and educational opportunities as well as entertainment .
a great starting point if you ' re heading , or thinking of heading , to a uk festival . for all the main ones - glastonbury , reading , womad etc - you ' ll find detailed summaries with line - ups and ticket options , as well as critical reviews from previous years , and active forums that provide invaluable advice on thorny topics such as having a nice shower at glastonbury . search options allow you to find smaller festivals by date and region , and to identify where your favourite band or performer is playing this summer . some useful
indispensable guides
too , on subjects ranging from working at festivals , visiting a festival if you ' re disabled , and looking glamorous at festivals .
dennis & debbie club first collaborated with glasgow short film festival to create and curate a virtual film theatre which featured at this year’s event . the collaboration continued when the bbc invited them to work with their connected studios and explore their archive .
the long - established entertainment listings website covers much more than festivals , but the excellent search facility makes it a doddle to narrow down the listings to music festivals . you can also filter results to view free events , and events within one to 35 miles of any uk location - which can bring up some tempting , local offerings . i may well be heading to the free peasedown party in the park in june to catch scrumpy and western tribute act the mangledwurzels . . .
fivars is the first canadian festival dedicated solely to vr storytelling and filmmaking . the festival was started in 2015 and is the first vr festival to be listed on urltoken — a marketplace for filmmakers to submit their works to film festivals , owned by urltoken
“the specially selected bbc archive is essential to the overall experience , because it lets you see first - hand the festivals’ amazing history and get a sense of the scope of all the amazing people and performances that have come to edinburgh through the years . ”
reading and leeds festivals are the long established royal pairing , the king and queen of the festival calendar , and they return bigger than ever in 2013 . here ' s our recommendations for the ten acts likely to crown the weekend with their own monarchical mark .
from the website : “the cyberia film festival is the first conventionally - styled filmfest to be held in a virtual reality environment . cyberia seeks to explore a new frontier in cinema appreciation , reaching across the globe to bring together an audience as diverse as its content . ”
but the healthy offering of virtual reality experiences and stories at the 13th annual dubai festival — including 10 vr
movies ,
five being world premieres from a global roster of filmmakers — proves that the format has become an essential component of the global film festival circuit .
dubai — the robust menu of virtual reality installations offered at this month ' s dubai international film festival — the first time the format was featured here — would’ve made it the world ' s largest , most celebrated vr - palooza of record just a couple of short years ago .
a neat , user - friendly website . you can search for festivals ( uk and abroad ) on calendars and on google maps , and for each event there ' s a pie chart showing what proportion of the music is rock / pop , hiphop / rnb , world / folk etc . click on one section of the pie chart , eg rock / pop , and the bands / acts that are performing rock / pop at the festival are highlighted . click on the band / act , and you ' re shown the other festivals where they are performing .
whether you are interested in film , game design , or other ways to use vr technology , the new york film academy likely offers the perfect course or workshop for you . start exploring our programs here . who knows ? we might see some of your work at one of these festivals in future !
another useful starting point . its search lets you find what festivals are on in croatia , spain and other countries , as well as in the uk . i like the readable , newsy magazine - style features on headline acts - did you know that the boomtown rats are reforming to play at the isle of wight festival in june ?
explains , “our experiential program is what happens when artists create wildly different adventures that go outside traditional methods . here , stories are not passively watched , they are actually ‘experienced’ — you are a participant . today , virtual reality offers a new landscape for creating worlds and stories . at its best it can be a powerful vehicle for magically transportive explorations that test the limits of our imaginations and psyches . ”
we’re still looking for creative narrative virtual reality ,
shaoyu su , an arts laboratory specialist from usc ' s jaunt cinematic vr lab told mashable at the diff booth he was manning .
i went to vrla twice and everyone is talking about camera solutions and new tech . . . . but i don’t really see a rise in content creation [ ideas ] . that’s what we’ve been trying to figure out in the lab .
in an era that has recalibrated economies , redefined social realms and rewired the connection between the individual and the world , we must also reimagine what it is to be human ,
shari frilot , sundance film festival senior programmer and chief curator of new frontier said .
through virtual reality , augmented reality and various crafted immersive experiences , new frontier this year challenges the very nature of perception and what we consider to be ' reality . '
these are just a few who have hosted full on festivals . the beauty of online is that these type of events exist on varying levels of scale , and in isolation , across the world . from author q & as to live streams , there’s a lot that can be done online , wherever you are , and for minimal to no cost . we hope you like the look of what’s gone before us , and maybe look forward to what we’re planning all the more for june !

we had thought for a while we were the first in scotland , but it turns out we aren’t ! the earliest we’ve heard about is distant voices , back in november 2009 . the one day poetry festival gathered poetry enthusiasts worldwide from the comfort of their own couches , organised by stanza , the brilliant international poetry festival in scotland . from mumbai and new york to sacramento and skye , their event really rallied an international audience and was years ahead of the curve .
, the festival took on a theme each year and put on a massive amount of events : over 100 in 2012 , and a staggering 177 in 2013 across a month . their themes redefining reading and writing , beyond the margins and history and homecoming allowed them to explore these topics in massive detail , attracting thousands of visitors , and vibrant discussion . during the event’s lifetime , ebooks moved from being on the margins of publishing to being a core factor in competitiveness .
‘s latest year took over a weekend to discuss everything from brokeback mountain 10 years on , to the power of romance in young adult literature and movies that inspired authors’ books . their mantra is that to truly be for the fans of the genre , they have to remain publisher neutral and put on what they believe to be the best programme for the audience .
was another all - encompassing celebration of genre . from hosting a short story competition and a film poster design one , there were lots of chances to get creative and involved . participants ranged from margaret atwood to space scientist erik laan via twitter chats to google hangouts , giving opportunity to delve into both the science and the fiction .

slovakia , europe’s most castellated country , is a land of dense forests , unspoilt wildernesses and craggy mountains . it is also home to pohoda , a broad church of a festival with a whole heap of spirit that this year , one ahead of its 20th birthday , proved the pitch perfect festival package . the disused military air base on the banks of the river vah has been overrun by the meticulously positioned stages and ephemera of one of eastern europe’s most respected festival and all around , carpathian foothills cut into the expansive , cloudless sky . if you were to design an event site from scratch , you could do a lot worse . runways that used to carry planes , now carry the 30 , 000 annual pohodans as they taxi between the stages , meaning there’s not a soundclash to be heard . there is no direct translation for pohoda , though most seem to settle on relax . heading to the orange stage to do just that with accompaniment from legendary czech electro band midi lidi ( 9 ) , their obscure lyrics lost in translation , but their brand of 80’s synth - pop and infectious , angular attitude are not . an ideal clarion call to those dozing in the sun after a heavy lunch . slovakian food is heavy , sausage , grilled cheese , pancakes and from across the border in hungary , the versatile fried delight that is langose , perfect for those 4am hunger pangs outside the dance tent . franz ferdinand and sparks combine for ffs ( 8 ) , sounding best , ironically , on their recent single ‘collaborations don’t work’ . believe them not - in this case , they do . less a collaboration actually , more a baton pass between the identities of each band , you get the best elements of both and pohoda loves them for it , a very worthy headline act .
in a generous act of programming , einsturzende neubaten ( 10 ) take to the orange stage 15 minutes after ffs finish . blixa bargeld , once tipped
the most beautiful man in the world
by nick cave , appears in a suit that sparkles in the light . around him the band members hammer , hit , throb and beat their way through nearly two hours of sonic excellence , while he , assured and delightful , delivers the lyrics in german and english like blessings on a reverential flock . “this is our first time in slovakia” , bargeld states , ”but i don’t think that means anything” . they are mesmerising , expansive and mind - blowing and remain the highlight of the festival , hands down . bjork ( 8 ) is an odd headline choice and her insistence on showing pohoda clips from life on earth while skipping around masked at the front of the stage takes a while to sink in . halfway through the set , however , her performance ascends in quality and power and she takes pohoda on an awesome journey into her peculiar little world . always pioneering and never dull , she remains an enigmatic and entrancing proposition live .
mercury winners young fathers ( 9 ) are treated as returning heroes in the dance tent and deliver a hard - edged set , just the way pohoda likes it . don’t let the geniality on the dance floor fool you , pohoda knows how to party . deep into the slovakian night , old warhorse roni size ( 9 ) delivers a blinder it seems most of pohoda attend . with his musical collective behind him , he’s unstoppably infectious and ' brown paper bag ' , with its own melodic makeover , is a stand out moment . on sunday morning , vf asks michal kascak , slovakia’s younger version of michael eavis , what he’s planning for the 20th anniversary next year . “business as usual ? ” “no . no . creativity as usual” , comes the reply . this year , that attitude delivered the perfect festival . review by jon wright .

“ edinburgh 70 is an artistic distillation of edinburgh at festival time over the last 70 years , ” explain dennis and debbie . ”we’ve built 3d representations of city landmarks and populated them with everything the festival experience has to offer . it’s our attempt to capture the joyful carnival of serendipity and craziness .
i’m pleased to see this project launched on bbc taster alongside abstraction , which was also supported by creative scotland . this comes at the start of edinburgh’s festival season , where technology driven experiences are an increasing feature .
creative scotland identified a gap in digital leadership and innovation in the arts and creative industries some time ago . as a means of addressing this gap we facilitated light bytes - a series of events and discussions in collaboration with creative dundee , creative edinburgh and we throw switches - and supported creative technologists to continue those conversations in collaboration with other artists and artforms .
sound world
was one of many vr installations at the dubai film festival .
that distinction now lies somewhere between the expansive springtime vrla expo in los angeles and next month ' s sundance film festival , where a dozen installations seemed like a huge deal in 2015 ( this year well over 30 are coming to park city , utah ) .
if you want to be a player , you gotta have vr , and you gotta go big .
a scene from
when all land is lost ?
from indian vr director faiza ahmad khan .
the festival ' s showcase section , dubbed
a different reality ,
featured a sprawling open - air samsung vr
cinema
with a dozen or more headset - equipped seats at the madinat jumeriah resort festival headquarters .
titles included new non - fiction vr works like when all land is lost ? , indian director faiza ahmad khan ' s opening documentary ( image above ) about injustice in india’s polluted coal - mining district ; or canadian director adam cosco ' s surreal drama knives , about a spiraling housewife ' s encounter with a door - to - door knife salesman .
inside the adjacent film market showroom floor , another dozen or so vr - related installations attracted curious festivalgoers . and the most popular were clearly of the experiential variety , like riding six flags’ tatsu rollercoaster ( below ) , an installation that required sophisticated moving chairs to achieve the full effect .
you can ' t try this at home : dubai film festival fans take the roller coaster ride .
people were getting a kick out of it , as the constant yelps and screams that filled the space over the past two weeks would attest . but it ' s not exactly the kind of entertainment tech that’s going to wind up in the home anytime soon .
and that ' s . . . kind of the problem that vr is still grappling with : how to tell stories with it ?
while gaming has gained a foothold and sophisticated amusement park ride - like installations are good fun , narrative storytelling in vr is still struggling to figure out its language and its place in the entertainment landscape .
the usc lab’s demos at diff were nifty in execution , but nothing yet feels like a compelling blend of story and medium . the three that mashable strapped in for included a moment among a dancer and musicians twirling around the disney concert hall in downtown los angeles , a somewhat crudely cg - rendered ride - along on the wright bros . plane ( cool ! ) and a simulation of a first date , in which you’re the potential suitor’s wingman , guiding him by turns .
so far , it seems like everyone’s still learning the language of the platform and cranking out neato demonstrations that don’t go much beyond proof - of - concept .
really , all the tools are already spreading around for vr ,
su said .
we’ve been doing really well in traditional film narrative storytelling for about 100 years . the questions is , how [ do ] you translate that ?
no one’s completely cracked the storytelling part yet , though many have tried . some admirably .
mashable has demo’ed some promising outliers over the past year , like the well - directed bunnies - vs . - aliens short film invasion ( above ) , the pixar - like sundance vr debutante alumette and jon favreau’s trolls and goblins with wevr studios , an enchanted - forest experience that ' s the most compelling case for vr ' s narrative future we ' ve yet seen .
when radio came along , and television , and the internet , no one really knew or could predict how they were going to affect every aspect of society ,
ben outram , creator of sound world , an interactive psychedelic world of geodesic shapes and music ( see image , top of post ) , told mashable .
i think vr is one of those — we’re in this stage now where no one really knows what it’s doing . but it represents a whole new level of an ability to communicate , an ability to empathize , there’s more information being sent , there’s more levels and channels of sensory perception and we can expect a whole multitude of ways that i think is going to change society just as much as the internet has .
over time , that may be true . come mid - january , we ' ll get a first look at a whole new batch of vr
movies ,
when the highly curated new frontier section at the sundance film festival — now entering its second decade — brings 20 vr experiences and 11 installations to three venues in park city . it ' s become the vr film festival of record over the past few years , the place where all the latest 360 - degree creations come to show off .
this year they ' ll include particle , the story of a two - dimensional light being who exists in the pages of a giant , hand - drawn comic book ; a kinetic dance performance inside an extravagant silent movie palace ; an
elaboration
upon vincent van gogh’s provence landscapes ; and asteroids ! , baobab studios ' ( invasion ! ) cosmic journey aboard the spaceship of aliens mac and cheez .
even if that reality is that the storytelling just isn ' t there yet .
