Summary Our project is inviting audience to a local animal shelter. This is the summary of producer's post: "My idea is to create a 360 video experience of a local animal shelter. The main idea behind this video is to create empathy and make the users feel like they are interacting with these different animals. Before I went to an animal shelter, I had a somewhat negative outlook towards them. I had thought they were locations to house stray animals or vicious pets (kind of like a jail for bad...

Wow! I did not expect VR to have the effect it did on me. During the first class exercise, just being in the room seemingly made me nauseous. I was already battling a migraine and could not bare to put on a headset and confuse my brain. Samsung Gear VR A few days later, I tried for round two. First, I went for the Samsung Gear VR headset to experience skydiving. I was blown away by the picture/video quality; however, I forced myself to remember my feet were planted on...
A whole new world: My first VR experience

I remember the first time i was introduced to google cardboard. It was a casual dinner with my friends. We were catching up what each other were up to. One of them had opened an online shop selling google cardboard. I didn't know at that time what it was. He let me try watching a video of under the sea through the google cardboard. I still remember the feeling to this day how amazed i was, seeing the shark so close up, like i could touch it and how foolish...

Over the summer I was able to partake in my first real experience with VR. Prior to the summer, my interest in the VR world was sparked when Facebook introduced Facebook 360. This is where I was first exposed to this world but it wasn’t until the summer when I realized VR is so much more than just a 360 video. During our class, I started out at the Google Cardboard station. This is definitely the most basic, bare bones type of VR you can get your hands on. It...
So thanks Prof. Ken Harper for reminding me about this blog post! The independent study that I looked into was Learning Adobe Fuse to design my own characters. It's unfortunate that I didn't apply any of these actual skills that I learned to my projects, it probably would've added a little bit of pizzazz to a lot of them. I learned about all the different forms of character customization all the way down to the material of the clothing that my character was wearing and the patterns that are displayed...
Well, here we go. My Unity project is the story of an alien or another celestial being learning about human life and culture through the study of their dances. The character is First person and walks into a chamber that leads him to a sort of Museum of Dance. The character walks around experiencing the different dance fads of human times from twerking to the macarena. This gives the character insight into how the human population of Earth expresses themselves and communicates. I set out to show that Virtual Reality...
AmandaSilvestri_CoachellaVR_Presentation In this presentation, I talk about the brand new VR app from Coachella for the 2016 Festival taking place in Coachella Valley, California from April 22 to April 24 this year. The app serves as an accompaniment to those attending Coachella as well as giving access to those who are not at the festival to experience the sights and sounds of Coachella.
I was looking up a whole bunch of different tutorials on how to get my characters to animate with triggers. I am looking for where exactly I went wrong so I can learn from this for the future. I really want my final project to be in Unity and I am looking for ways to definitely improve. I worked in PlayMaker and I was pretty sure I had the physics of what I was doing correctly but I guess my characters thought otherwise because they just stood there like statues...
Carla Sertin – Stitching very similar videos in Auto Pano

My group filmed three dancers doing a routine to Beyonce's "Formation". Because we filmed in Studio D, which has a wraparound black curtain, the backgrounds looked really similar and Autopano had a meltdown trying to figure out how to stitch the videos together -- to be brief, one of the dancers was working it on the ceiling... I googled the problem and found that you can use a template panorama to help Autopano figure out where each video should go. Basically, you take an existing 360 video project (the file from...
