A Whole New World.

I remember the first time I experienced VR, it was before I technically even knew what VR was... and even though I don’t constitute the previous experience to a positive one ( I passed out in the middle of The Mission Impossible Rollercoaster, one of Disneyworld’s most popular attractions) its still amazing to see how far this method of experience has come with in the past decade or so. Its even more exciting to imagine where this new realm can go, and can take us. Over the past few months...

Assignment 1 – VR experience- Samarth Sharma

My first ever, notable VR experience was when I was accepted by Johns Hopkins University for a graduate program in marketing. I received in mail, a package that had a Johns Hopkin’s cardboard, which enabled me to hook up my IPhone to the same and experience the campus virtually. It was a great marketing and public relations technique, I thought. I could see each classroom and the different buildings of the campus. Not only that, my inquisitiveness led me to explore the campuses of other universities, to which I had...

Independent Learning : Osung

For unity assignments and the final project, I took two unity courses in Lynda.com. The first one is Unity 5: 3D Essential Training. The most practical lessons I earned from the course are the notion of meshes and the sound setting. What I meant by the sound setting is the spatial sound which is sensitive the location of the source and the listener. As I wrote in the post of Assignment 5, through this course, I could find the reason for unavailability of the spatial sound in a Unity scene. The other...

Final Project: Gabriel Acosta

The goal of my project was to make a cooking show for beginners that made them feel at home and comfortable with the kitchen. The result was a 12 minute cooking show titled Cooking From All Angles. Proposal: http://wp.me/p5y0Rc-1pp The first step in the process was thinking about how to give the viewer the right angles that give you that feeling of being next to someone without boring the audience. The experience was deliberately slow pace because we didn't want to glance over anything to ensure beginner cooks are comfortable....

Final Project- Tony Yao

For my final project, The original plan was to recreate a movie clip in unity which you can experience it by yourself. But in real life situations, I really could use more time!!! It is really hard to start for the first step and I have spent tons of time doing that. For now, my project stops at where there is a room of items you can pick up with oculus touch controllers and when you get outside, there is a knight avatar which will greet you and guide you...

Independent Study- Audrey Lee

For my final project, I dove deep into the world of photogrammetry and learned a ton, both through internet tutorials and trial and error. I'll be comparing some of the different tools you can use to complete photogrammetry, which include Autodesk, Photoscan and Trnio, plus, some tips, and the issues I had. For starters, Autodesk isn't compatible with the Mac OS, so I quickly turned to Photoscan, which costs $179 for the standard version and About $3500 for Photoscan Pro. AGIsoft, Photoscan's developer, offers a free 30-day trial, which is...

Independent Study: Gabriel Acosta

In order to improve my knowledge of 360-degree video, I attended the Ambisonic microphone workshop. The workshop was divided into two parts. The first was a short introduction to what the ambisonic microphone is and the second was an explanation of the 788t the style of recorder that is needed to use an ambisonic microphone. An ambisonic microphone is one that has 4 sub-cardiod mics in a tetrahedral directions. This means that it records in all directions, therefore making it the 360 camera of microphones. The second half focused on...

Independent study – Tony Yao

For my independent study, I read Prof. Frank Biocca's book "Communication in the age of Virtual Reality". This book was written in the 90s which is quite amazing on what he has predicted to actually be true. In that time, the concept of virtual reality was not even seen by the public yet. This book contains a lot of professional papers describing a concept which is only doable in universities and militaries. Dr. Biocca realizes that this is a concept that will eventually be used in communication and a wide...

Matthew Mulcahy Final VR: VR Meditation

The story of my project was to look at a women who teaches yoga and the ability to bring it with you anywhere. For this video I set out to make a video that people could use whenever they find themselves stressed or anxious. I thought the story and lessons from this teacher could help anyone find relaxation for just a few minutes a day. As I began working on this project I learned how carefully you need to plan out all of your events as well as the ability...
