You are cordially invited to a reception at the Autodesk Gallery to celebrate art, science, and technology for ocean education, and to view the work of The Hydrous, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization on a mission to create open access oceans. The Hydrous is an international community of scientists, divers, designers, filmmakers, and technologists who love the ocean and want to share it to protect it.
Please join us for a drink in support of the Hydrous and their important work! You will learn about marine science and ocean education, view beautiful 3D coral models produced with Autodesk software, learn about our photogrammetry and virtual reality processes, and have the opportunity buy a few fabulous underwater photographs, or even tempt yourself to take a Hydrous expedition to the Maldives, to learn more about the science of the oceans.
A $20 donation is suggested for entry. We will have an open bar, serving beer and wine as long as supplies last.
