Independent Study -Creating Stereoscopic 3D videos

  Here is the link to the tutorial - Creating Stereoscopic 3D video So this is my view of the tutorial- in the tutorial, Professor Mark Gray makes up his own rig with two Kodak 4K cameras. Originally a 360 camera, Prof. Gray turns one along with the other and records two 180 videos, thus creating a three dimensional video. This is something we touched upon during the skype session with Samantha Koenig- like NextVR is using 180 videos to stream NBA content. The other 180 being used to display match...

Final – A brief tour of Syracuse (360 Video)

-Ronojoy Sinha Link - Syracuse 360 tour My aim for this assignment was to make a 360 video highlighting the local hotspots in Syracuse. Hotspots would include museums, restaurants, parks, installations etc. I went to some of the places i know personally in downtown and made a quick video. The video starts off at Columbus Circle along with some facts about the circle like the history and nearby attractions.  Next, the video takes us to armory square- where it talks about how it was re-developed from an industrial zone to a happening recreational...

Assignment 05 – Playmaker Interactivity by Ronojoy Sinha

Playmaker Interactivity tutorial So for this assignment, i decided to make a scene from scratch. The scene i had in mind was that of a wild wild west with a twist. I placed two characters i downloaded from mixamo and made them dance to the trigger- which in this case was a skull on the ground. As soon i would get close to the skull, the music would start playing and the characters would dance. It took me some time to get the logic right but once i did playmaker...

Assignment 04 – Unity Scene – Ronojoy Sinha

-Ronojoy Sinha Lake and the woods Things i learned I was really looking forward to this project. I heard about Unity for the first time this summer and was really waiting for it.Creating your own 3D world? That was something i wanted to do when i was a boy. Although, i'll have admit that the Unity's UI is something which should be worked on. Due to time restrictions, i chose to work on small scale setting. At this moment with winter approaching, i went ahead and made a tropical scene...

-Ronojoy Sinha Video Link : https://youtu.be/m0fLvTi9V-I Filmed by : Lenny Martinez, Geoffrey Cook, Tony Yao, Ronojoy Sinha Original Idea :http://www.vrstorytelling.org/assignment-02-vr-video-pitch-lenny-martinez/ Changes :  Initially, we wanted to make a creepy family dinner but after actually talking about and going through the details we decided not to go with it because it might be a scarring experience for the child who would've acted in the video. Instead, we pivoted and  made a video about two guys who are looking for a third roommate and how they lure him in. The things i...

Assignment 02 -VR Pitch

By Ronojoy Sinha EXPERIENCE I had quite a few ideas for this assignment but most of them didn't seem exciting enough; apart from the one i’ll be sharing with you right now. My idea is to create a video in which the viewer gets to experience what it feels like to be in the body of the opposite sex and see how they’re being perceived in the world around them. I’m no expert but through this video we can at least try to figure out why some situations tend to...

Assignment 1 – My first VR Experience

-Ronojoy Sinha Ok so this was my first experience with VR.I had heard a lot of things about Virtual Reality and how it’d change storytelling forever. The fact that I could pick up a course in VR and learn more about it in Newhouse was reason enough for me to take it. Not a lot of places offer this course, so in a way I’m kind of pretty excited about this opportunity. When I walked into the innovation lab for the first time, I was really amazed but the things...
