Renaissance Forum: SpriteKit Confidential + Extreme Reality

We're going to continue our iOS registered developer-only discussion with one of the topics of our July forum.

Because of the confidential nature of this session, I won't post a lot of detail, but generally you can expect three presentations:

1. An overview of SpriteKit and a demo of a game built with it.

2. A user story: Rob Rhyne (https://twitter.com/capttaco), CEO of MartianCraft (http://martiancraft.com) and a speaker at Renaissance 2013 (http://renaissance.io/2013/sessions/apps_for_hire), will talk about how MartianCraft is using SpriteKit in interesting and unexpected ways.

3. Something really mind-bending and opportunity-expanding from Apportable (http://www.apportable.com).

We'll follow this with an open discussion of demos of SpriteKit apps that people in the room want to share.

BONUS: Extreme Reality for 3D full-body motion capture

We'll have a brief presentation Extreme Reality (http://www.xtr3d.com/about-us/overview) about its new 2D camera-based motion capture system, available for iOS. This will be the perfect time to hear about the Extreme iPad Challenge (http://www.xtr3d.com/ipad-challenge-2013), a contest for iPad game developers that opens August 18.
