Final Project Virtual Tour – Jason Mussman

For my final project my partner, Luke Casino, and I created a virtual tour of Split Rock Quarry using Panotour Pro.  This software is made by Kolor, and is very useful for creating virtual tours and for mapping out 360 images.  The software allows you to place hotspots throughout your images and link them to different points, either video, audio or web based.  For this project we decided it would be best to utilize the Nikon KeyMission360 Camera.  Despite the reviews the KeyMission 360 camera is very useful.  Even though we...

Extra Credit Syria Symposium

For the Syria Symposium, Running for Cover, I was in charge of all 360° production.  I coordinated production schedules between classes, volunteers and liaised with 5th Medium.  I was also in charge of the 360 Video Gallery and gave the exhibitors a quick crash course on VR and the Samsung GearVR so that they can answer any questions and troubleshoot problems.  The Syria Symposium was a great event and I am very thankful for all the support of the class and from all the Volunteers.

Assignment 5 – Jason Mussman

Sorry its taken so long, I had the scene and the video created it was just left on the innovation lab computer and I totally forgot to upload it, at the very least it is a working demo and I think I did a good job of explaining it.   I found it very difficult to use the fighter jet to try and reconfigure it to not take off and fly away.  I would like it to be stationary or take off and orbit the scene not just fly away...

Assignment 4 – Jason Mussman

For this video we made several improvements, some small, yet powerful.  We made minor editing in premiere, put together a nadar hole and applied the nadar hole to the video.  We also added some key statistics at the end of the video to help show the importance of knowing ones limit.   I was in charge of production for my team.  I arranged meeting times, coordinated schedules, and took the lead with stitching the videos in AutoPano Video/AutoPano Giga.  For the improvement project I oversaw the editing, that Luke did (He...

Assignment 2 – Jason Mussman

My idea is more of an educational staged experience where I hope to convey the importance of knowing ones drinking limit and safe behavior. I am very interested to see how the class perceives and interested in seeing if it is feasible to do is create a educational drunken experience video.  Have a 360 camera set up in a staged environment (POV of actor) and create a video of a girl (or guy) drinking throughout the night at a party and then as they drink more the video becomes more...

Jason Mussman Assignment 1

Having been in VR environments multiple times I decided to attack this assignment from an observational standpoint at watching my fellow classmate’s reaction to their first VR experiences.  I love VR, and knowing that this is going to be the future of content consumption it is interesting to see how first time users experience VR.   Many people in the class have used VR once or twice but still many have never experienced it.  I sat eagerly watching fellow students trying on the GearVR for the first time.  As you...
