By Juli Whetstone I came into this class just looking at VR as an interesting topic and not really knowing much about it. I knew that it was becoming more popular, but I had never tried any kind of VR experience until I bought my Google Cardboard headset for this class. Looking back now, it is crazy to think how far I have come. As a Media & Education grad student, I approached this class as a way for me to explore how VR can be used for education. I...
Many experts think 2016 will be the first year of VR era as the publishing of HTC vive, Oculus Rift, Samsung gear and Sony PS VR. Almost all technology giants are trying to seize the opportunity in VR industry. However, everyone is just the beginner in this game, many small companies also have their own breakthrough that may change the rules. “uSens” is one of the small, but unstoppable companies. The background of the company. The company was founded in 2013, in San Joes, California. The founders are a...
In the editing process of my final project for the VR Storytelling class, I found that I didn't know as much about Adobe Premiere as I thought I did... for starters, I didn't realize that 360° videos could be edited in Premiere. This lead me to a Lynda course on learning about the basics of Premiere. The first important thing that I learned about Premiere comes with exporting. When we originally tried to export our final video, we exported it in .mov not realizing that there would be an issue if...
Here is an interview I conducted with Andrew Goldstein, the co-founder of Otherworld Interactive. Otherworld is dedicated to building the most transcendent worlds for entertainment, music, games, and advertising industries. Goldstein is a graduate of USC's Interactive Media graduate program. He gave me great insight into his company and how they do things. He talked about their selection process, and his stance on investors and why they don't need them. The interview was very informative and I learned a lot.
While working on both 360° videos for this class, I faced learning experiences outside of the typical VR skill set through two different Lynda courses. Working on both the DPS VR video and my own personal Heathers The Musical project, it was important for me and my group members to have an aesthetically pleasing patch for the nadir hole. In order to create a custom patch for both videos, we needed to imagine our own for one and use a an already made logo for the other. Due to this, I...

After seeing a few 360 videos for films and TV shows such as "Zoolander" and "The Walking Dead," I was interested in learning how these traditional media companies are using emerging technology such as VR to captivate their audience. I noticed these videos were promotional material for the actual TV series or movie, giving the fans a behind-the-scenes look at their favorite shows and films. The ability to immerse yourself into the world of a show, especially one very different from your own, is a unique experience that brings you...
ZBrush 4 Essentials Digital art and sculpting, have always been important to me. I remember when I modeled my first 3D model in Cinema 4D and I absolutely fell in love with 3d molding and sculpting. Even though I have an art background and I have used my technical and artistic abilities to paint a vivid and colorful picture using Unity and other software's, I can still learn. On lynda.com, I found the ZBrush 4 Tutorials.ZBrush is a 3d modeling, painting and sculpting software used by designers and artists. These...

When I was thinking about who was working in VR and the things they were doing in it I immediately thought of our very own Andrew Polino. Andrew graduated from Newhouse with a degree in broadcast journalism, but after taking this very class decided to branch off into VR. Andrew is currently working on "Eyewitness" a joint project between the Syracuse police department and Syracuse University. In keeping with typical interview procedure my questions to Andrew are in regular type and his replies are in italics. How did you get...
Every day, Syracuse University's students and staff populate Marshall Street for many different reasons: some go there for their lunch break, others want to enjoy a cold beer with friend, and some just like to hang out in one of the most famous street in Syracuse. Because of the importance of Marshall Street, for my project I realized a 360 degree video of some of the businesses that made the history of this street. To realize this project I relied on the loved/hated GoPro 360 kit, a Tascam digital recorder,...
I found the 360 video part of this class to be the most in line with my skills and interests, so throughout this class I have pushed myself to take these videos to the next level visually. When we learned how to use Auto Pano Video for our class projects, I noticed the auto color feature does a decent job at correcting any uneven colors throughout all six videos, but the tools were limited. As a TRF major, I use Adobe Premiere Pro for my video editing and have wanted...
