Grant and Alex Final Proj

When we first conceptualized our final project, the focus was going to be a 360 video on the Refugee and Immigrant Self-Empowerment (RISE) center’s plans leading up to a big event called “refugee day”.

We are then transported to a place where students have gathered to watch the game, or into the actual Carrier Dome. We...

The touch sensitive controls, making it possible to see my hands in the virtual world was a great addition that I had never seen. The fact that it was possible to walk around a little, pick up and put things down,...
