Today we presented our prototype to the rest of the class and explained the journey of our project. We managed to load the 360 degree file into a VR headset as we wanted, which was amazing to see, since it was the first time that anyone in the group had been able to be fullyContinue reading “Living Room Presentation”

This workshop is one that I have really been looking forward to since I have always been fascinated by the concept of virtual reality. We had a brief talk about virtual reality and were introduced to tiltbrush, which I had a lot of fun playing with. Coming to university, virtual reality was the thing thatContinue reading “Virtual Reality Workshop”

Our original idea was to present our living room as a virtual reality environment that people can walk around and experience. Unfortunately we’ve decided that that idea would be too difficult for us to achieve right now, since it would need to use game mechanics and skills that no one in our group is veryContinue reading “Living Room Virtual Reality Implementation”

In this session we looked at adobe character animator and how to animate using motion tracking. I began by creating a character in Photoshop. It was very important how I organised the layers because I put it into character animator and the software had to be able to distinguish each element of the character. So,Continue reading “Digital Puppets”

Today we had a play with projection mapping. Projection mapping is not something that has ever really interested me, but after today I ended up enjoying experimenting with it much more than I thought I would. We began with a demonstration on what projection mapping is and briefly being taught how to use the software.Continue reading “Projection Mapping”

In this session, we collaborated in groups to create a prototype for a board game. In doing this we learnt the value of prototyping, and knowing as a group which creative ideas to build on, and which to reject. We began my brainstorming ideas for the board game and by talking about what kind ofContinue reading “Board Game prototype”

03/10/19 Today our group had our inductions in the green studio. There we learnt how to use and book out the facilities along with some techniques, terminology and origins of chromakey. Later we had a lecture on the history of VFX which added some much more in depth context to our greenscreen work. A pioneerContinue reading “Green screen and VFX”
