Hello. My name is Mackenzie McGuire and I am an artist.
My company, ‘Imagine That’, is a virtual reality design shop that uses the
latest cutting edge technologies to advance character design and creation.
Now in an age of technology like today, where apps and artificial
intelligence appear to be taking over the world, why talk about an art
company? I’ll give you two good reasons:
First, Art improves our daily lives by bringing beauty into our world.
Second, Art encourages problem solving. It encourages critical thinking. It
enables communication.
Think about what Da Vinci or Galileo or Darwin did with simple sketchbooks.
Just imagine if they had a limitless virtual reality environment to help create
and communicate their ideas to the world?
My company, Imagine That, uses VR design programs to push the limits of
creativity and exploration. Designing in virtual reality enables the artist to
make the most incredible character designs imaginable, as well as the world
surrounding that character.
Imagine That will offer custom, original character designs in a variety of
media. Digital copies that can be viewed in VR, or as wallpapers and
screensavers. 2d print outs, but most importantly, 3d printed models of
your personalized character.
The market space for ‘Imagine That’ is my generation - the video game
generation. Every Comicon and video game tournament offers my company
the opportunity to display and sell my product in the artists alley. But more
than just selling art, I will be on the cutting edge of introducing a whole new
type of art to the younger generation. Art that makes people say ‘Wow. This
is so cool!’ The world needs science - but it also very much needs art.
Where this virtual reality art is headed is anyone’s guess. But I guarantee
you it will be very exciting. Imagine that.
Fantastic concept - very impressed with your business

Human creativity is one of the few advantages we have over computers - we must ensure we foster this unique trait.
