The Person:
Darin Cohen: I would say that I'm part artist, part scientist and all human. I've worked in the entertainment lighting industry for 25+ years handling repairs of robotic lighting and (on occassion) programing stages for various venues in and around Los Angeles. It's been a great career that is often a mind-body-soul experience and I would highly recommend it to someone who has both technical and artistic talents.
I started IntelliCruz because the concepts of transforming VR were keeping me up at 2am every night and it was simply time to bring this to light.
The Business:
IntelliCruz has two sides to it.
One side helps businesses to elevate their website media (videos and photos) to have a deeper impact with their customers. Immersive 360 photos, 360 videos, and 3D product views give potential clients more time to interact with a company.
The other part of IntelliCruz is focused on education. Immersive education (if done properly) can help a person gain perspective about the world we live in. It is not meant to replace the following:
1) Book learning.
2) The ability to write out a math problem on paper.
3) True, face to face contact with people and the world.
All of those details, I believe, are essential to intellectual development. But VR does help with learning about world cultures, social issues such as drug abuse, immersive history, and health awareness amongst other topics.
IntelliCruz Mission Statement: IntelliCruz produces and curates virtual reality experiences that help the participant to gain perspectives.
Why is that important? Because perspective is where we, as humans, can render a thoughtful decision based upon an experience. If you peer down a road that looks safe, you may start to travel on that road. But, if you get halfway down the road to reveal a dangerous, hidden gap, then you have a better understanding of that route. That's perspective.
If we present a VR experience to a person, we can hope that they will develop a healthy perspective and be able to make an informed decision in our very complex world.
