10/31 Lecture Notes

10/31 Lecture Notes


11-11:10: Housekeeping

  • Look, we have the Insta360 Pro 8K camera! What I've learned so far:
  • Here's the manual if you want to help me figure it out today.
  • There's a mobile control app, as well as desktop stitching software if you choose to not use automatic stitching. Get both from the downloads page. The control app requires you to be on the same network as the camera, which may not work at SU.
  • The SD card must be of "V30" speed, which I think means it needs to record at 95 mbps or faster. They recommend this card in the  manual.
  • A USB3 SSD (solid state drive, meaning nothing spins) can also be used. The FAQ has a whole discussion about storage that's worth reading.
  • Grad students, please tell me what your apprenticeship project is.

11:10-11:40: The 3D Web

11:40-12:  Make something with A-Frame!

  • Don't worry, there's no assignment around this. Phew!

12-12:20: Final project brainstorming with a buddy

  • Assignment 7 is to pitch your final project (we will do that Wednesday). Pair up with another student you don't know that well and share what you plan to do, using the checklist from the assginment as a rough outline. Think of at least three problems or unknowns you may encounter and share it with your buddy. Your job is to each troubleshoot for each other. The goal is to have a plan for success even if you run into problems along the way.

If you finish early: Insta360 Pro!

  • Let's see what we can make it do.

I'm the lead professor for the VR Storytelling class and the Chair of Journalism Innovation at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
