The Virtual Brewery is an immersive Virtual Environment experience developed for Sapporo Beer of Japan. The exhibit is permanently installed in the Visitor's Center of Sapporo's new office building located in the Yebisu Gardens Place Development in the Ebisu area of Tokyo - originally the site of Sapporo's Yebisu Brewery built in 1887. The Virtual Brewery has been opened to the general public 6 days a week since the complex opened in October. Bar Code Hotel is an interactive installation for multiple participants (or guests). By covering an entire room with printed bar code symbols, an environment is created in which every surface becomes a responsive membrane, making up an immersive interface that can be used simultaneously by a number of people to control and respond to a projected real-time computer-generated stereoscopic three-dimensional world. Perry Hoberman is an installation and performance artist whose work employs a variety of technologies, ranging from totally obsolete to state-of-the-art. Hoberman has exhibited and performed widely throughout the United States and Europe.
