Virtual Reality

When I think of Virtual Reality, the first thing that come to mind is gaming or work out programs. I think of it for the user to be active and focused on some type of mission. I never considered that Virtual Reality could expand into documentary filmmaking or other art forms. I really like that this type of filmmaking has

360 / VR Facebook

I can talk endlessly about VR. This subject really gets me thinking a lot about social ideology and how VR will become a factor into evolving that. I believe Facebook will no longer JUST be a 2D platform; I believe it’ll have a 3D platform interaction mode as well included with the application. Instead of

360 Film & VR Possibilities

360 Documentaries The possibilities for 360 video cameras are endless. After watching a couple of 360 documentaries on Within, Cinematic VR streaming platform, I realized how film makers could create compelling stories with the technology. First, I watched the mini 360 documentary, CNN: Enter North Korea. It was so interesting because the 360 view helped

Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality is a very interesting form of technology and I was happy to experiment with it this week. For this week, I chose to experiment with the Google AR Animals and the Lens Studio. I took a selfie with my new “friend”, which was an Atlas Moth. The process of using the AR Animals was very easy as well. Users can search any

360 Photo Experience

Creating the 360 photos with Google was surprisingly easy for me. The interactivity of this media is easy for users to create one large photo of an open space by taking multiple photos. The Google Street View app is very descriptive and takes the users step by step to submitting their own 360 photos. At first, I thought it would be confusing especially because I do

360 Photo Experience

The process of taking a 360-degree photo was actually easier than I expected it to be. I never had any experience in taking 360-degree photos but I was always fascinated by it. I know there was special cameras to take such photos but I never bought one. After learning how these types of photos are

My Experience with Street View 360 Photo

Before this week, I wasn’t aware of 360 YouTube videos. In the module, the Natalie Portman clip, Kobe Bryant’s game, and the Colorado National Park video were interesting! I like the 360 video/photo concept because it allows for people to experience the “real world” in a way. Compared to VR, 360 video is more centered

Snapchat, the trendsetter

I grew up in a generation where social media became something huge. I was in late elementary /early middle school when I started to use social media. Myspace and Facebook were my first social medias. I didn’t really have a clue how to use it; I just knew I can customize my page on Myspace

Ledger of Harms: Physical and Mental Health

For the blog assignment for this week, one of the four prompts I chose was the third one. The third prompt instructed us to view the Ledger of Harms website and view the harms and evidence for each category that was given. Naturally, I clicked straight to mental and physical harm on mental and physical
