-Larissa Urbiks and Julian Schonbohm For our final project, we did a 360 video about the Southside of Syracuse. We also incorporated spatial audio in it. Larissa concentrated on finding a protagonist, the interview and the story, while Julian was concentrating on the technical implementation of the project. However, we always consulted with each other before proceeding throughout the whole project so that none of us worked in a vacuum. The editing process later on was done together. The blog post is divided into both our thoughts. Larissa...

-Julian Schonbohm For my final VR project, I worked together with a classmate on a 360 video, where we also incorporated the Sennheiser VR microphone we just recently got at Newhouse. I want to structure this independent learning requirement in the way of a tutorial, so that students in future classes can benefit from it. The recording process is actually not that hard, but you should at least have a basic understanding for audio signal processing. It just makes it easier for you to understand. I will put some links...
Assignment 8: Photogrammetry

-Julian Schonbohm Since there are a lot of statues and figures on Sketchfab, I wanted to do something different. Since I have just recently seen a video about a new generation 3D room planning tool, I wanted to do something for that purpose. Maybe someone can use this 3D object for their virtual kitchen. I did this 3D model by using the trnio app for iOS for the scanning part. Meshlab was used afterwards to edit the model and to remove the surface on which it stood while scanning. Trnio...
Assignment 6: Using Mixamo and Playmaker to animate characters.

-Julian Schoenbohm For this assignment I chose my existing bank robbery scene again. I wanted to add a police officer that gets out of the car right after arriving at the crash site. To make the officer look like getting out of the car after arriving, I chose to activate the Game Object not before the police car has actually arrived at the crash site and before entering the trigger. After this, the police officer is going to take a first look at the burning cars. I wanted the police...
Assignment 5: Make a scene interactive with Playmaker

-Julian Schoenbohm For this assignment, I wanted to add something to my existing Bank Robbery scene. I wanted to make the crash site more interactive so that the subject can see the police cars and the helicopter arriving as soon as he gets to the crash site. I also wanted to add some explosions at the crash site. As soon as the subject enters the crash site, an explosion takes place. First, I wanted to make the explosion trigger another animation. To be more precise, I wanted the explosion to...
Assignment 4 – Create a Scene in Unity

Julian Schoenbohm First of all, this was my very first time working with Unity or 3D in general. I was really fascinated how easy it is to work with and how fast you will get good results. Since I am a huge fan of Utah and its beautiful landscape I wanted to build a terrain that is similar to it. The scene you can see in the video shows a small town in the rural areas of Utah. There are some apartments, a farm, office buildings, a park where people...
Assignment 3: Team 360 Video

-Julian Schoenbohm Original post of our team’s producer Shuran Huang: „Video Link: https://youtu.be/xMn21GbOdBs Our original idea is to make a 360 video of a tour in Landmark Theatre including a show at the stage, however, since Disney Productions doesn’t allow us to film in the theatre, we had to change the topic. So our revised idea is to create a 360 video of a wedding, since I was also shooting the wedding as a photographer and I barely saw people making 360 videos of weddings. It would be a cool idea...
Assignment 2: 360 Video Pitch

Julian Schoenbohm My idea for the 360 video is to give the subject the opportunity to explore the bell tower of Syracuse University. I have seen a short documentary film about the bell tower which was also produced by SU students and thought that it would be even nicer to explore the bell tower in 360. THE SCENES The final film consists of two scenes. In the first scene, the subject is standing in front of the building so that the subject knows which building he is just going...
