Hello, I'm @sidgabriel, the organizer of ARDevMob: The San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley Augmented Reality Meetup group. Augmented reality is a human interface metaphor. Unlike the "desktop metaphor" which implies a computerized representation of a desk, files and folders, "Augmented Reality" implies that computer science can inform and extend everything in our visual, auditory and cognitive perception of reality. Making every interface relevant to a "first person" narrative perspectiv …

-Mission statement: It is my sincere hope this club will be a haven for those who have tried to find worthwhile people in all the usual places (clubs, bars, parties, conventions) and only came up empty. I want myself and the club members to truly take life back and live a sensible, humane, warm, compassionate, artful, and full life again in this country. I am forming this club largely as a reaction (and hopefully solution) to the declining quality of human interaction in the US. I have my the …

The first chapter of Leaders in Software and Art was founded in New York in 2009 as a networking group for cutting-edge artists who use technology to create museum-quality pieces. Meetups feature artist speakers showcasing their work and are attended by people fascinated by the field, such as curators, collectors, engineers and programmers, and of course other tech artists. What began with software art presentations has grown to include data visualization, sculpture made using LEDs, microprocess …

We love everything technology (old or new), are willing to wait in line to see the new Burton, Cameron, Jackson, Scott, or Spielberg  flick on opening night (with no shame for smuggling in snacks from the grocery store) and love role-playing in whatever form it takes: pen and paper, live-action or online. We have clothing (not costumes) in our closet that would fit well in the 16th century or the 23rd century. We can master any interest that piques our curiosity, whether it be making crème brule …

COLLISIONcollective (aka Cc) was founded in 2002 as an offshoot of the MIT student art group, ATat (Arts and Technology at tech), whose charter was to host events showcasing art incorporating technology. Formed by artists and technologists, the COLLISIONcollective is premised on the sometimes abrupt intersection between art and technology. Its practitioners are drawn to this synthesis as the epicenter of forward-looking cultural adaptation. COLLISIONcollective was formed to address several vital …

The phrase "Hacker Community" may be an oxymoron but so's your mom. We're calling all white hat, black hat and pink hat hackers in Portland, ME to come talk nerdy to us. What's a hacker? Someone who likes to know how stuff works - someone who likes to take stuff apart - someone who likes to tweak, fiddle and mess around. Not just for technologists - we want everyone from life hackers, artists, circuit benders to political strategists. What's a pink hat hacker? You'll have to come to find out. We …
