I am a huge sports fans and I intend to have a career in sports media, most likely behind the scenes in a production role. As such, I have already begun to explore existing 360 degree videos of sports games, events and venues. I have found 360 degree tours of sports venues on YouTube and tried them out in Google Cardboard. As such, I think it would be interesting to do a "behind-the-scenes" tour of one of the oldest sports venues in Upstate New York, the Onondaga County War Memorial....

  My 360 video concept centers on a “typical” SU student on “gameday”. My vision begins in a room where an alarm goes off and a student looks at a big calendar, clearly marked that today is the big game. After a montage of what looks to be a boring day of classes for the student, we see him/her run through a door, clearly on their way somewhere. We are then transported to a place where students have gathered to watch the game, or into the actual Carrier Dome. We...

It would ultimately be something where the participant would need to observe things to figure out the villain or plot of the story before it ends, kind of like a game of clue. For example, one scene could be the participant sitting in their office cubicle and then getting things like emails on...

Before last Wednesday's class, I had never had the opportunity to test out and experience virtual reality equipment.  I had read numerous articles, heard stories from friends, and also seen people experience it in movies but the chance to try it never became available till now.  After trying it, I believe Virtual reality is a great, immersive experience and I am not shocked it is becoming more prevalent in today's society.  In each scene I entered through the VR equipment, I actually felt as though I was there and for...

During the first class I used the google cardboard, the hololens, and the Oculus Rift. I would say that the best experience for me was the Rift. Google cardboard is a decent experience however it doesn’t really seem much different than watching a 360 video. It does put you in the experience a bit more but the quality did not seem very good. As for the hololens, it did seem like a better experience and the audio was better however, for me, it seemed a little odd working in the...
