I will be offering 33% off the rates for Virtual Dojo personal shibari tuition to make up for the wait in getting this project going.
What can I say? I know it has been ages since I first mentioned this but, due to some technological nightmares and a few other little interferences like LFAJRB, the Virtual Dojo project slipped somewhat. Anyway, now I have my broadband running at scorching speed, a reliable hard-wired LAN connection and all the right hardware installed, it should be all systems go.
Initially, I will only be offering individual tutoring customised to the students experience and requirements. If the feedback is sufficiently good, I will expand this to group classes and use my tutorial DVDs as the basis of an interactive course.
Tests have been very encouraging, even before the upgrades, so now the results should be even better assuming you have a half-way decent setup at your end. My only criticism is some after-imaging on fast movements. However, I think this is inevitable due to the need to reduce frame rates to a level that will not bog down most people’s systems. The trick is just to slow down some movements which makes it easier to follow anyway. I have no doubt that technology will improve rapidly and before long you will be able to enjoy me life-size at 60 frames per second in your living-room with the added advantage, not available in real life, of being able to turn me off!
To participate, you will need a reasonably up to date PC with a web cam and audio. Although WizIq is a very efficient platform designed for education, a fast and reliable Internet connection is essential for the best experience. Good lighting is also important for me to see clearly what you are doing. Tests would be performed before commencing tuition to confirm you are happy with the service provided.
The introductory rate is £30ph of teaching time. Setup and test time is not charged. I will be available from 11am-1am UK time by arrangement. Please use the Contact Form opposite.
