Final Project

It was a long and winding odyssey, but I present to you the screencast of my final project (Note: Without the audio, this does not have nearly the full effect. If someone knows how to take a screencast w/audio, I would love to redo this): If you have the chance, view the full file on Unity in the Innovation Lab, as audio plays a huge role in the story. *I do not own the rights to any of the music and as such this is for personal use only* The reason...

Panos Final Project: Laurence Segal Profile

I first met Laurence Segal while at my retail job at Destiny USA, a nearby mall. He was dressed head to toe in breast cancer related clothing and was eager to talk about his efforts in raising money for breast cancer research when I brought up the topic. It was clear to me from the moment we met that he was passionate about finding a cure, and has made raising awareness and funds a priority in his life. After speaking further with him, I found out that he makes daily...

Nadine Buschner Final Project Unity – The Visitors

    Originally, I was going to be creating a 360 video of the climate march for my final project but my plans ended up falling through and I was unable to make it to the march. Instead of trying to find another story to do my 360 video on, I decided to create a Unity scene. I am a big lover of sci-fi movies, so I thought it would be cool if I created a sort of alien abduction/alien arrival scene. The scene starts of with the user is at a camp...

Unity Final: Global Warming PSA

For my final, I wanted to do both a 360 video and a Unity PSA. Unfortunately, the 360 video portion fell through because every file on my computer was deleted after I deleted all of my video files, but I was able to salvage and redo my Unity project.   For my Unity project, I started with just water, my FPS controller, and a boat. From there, I made a trigger that activates when you walk towards the wheel using playmaker. When you activate the trigger, audio begins to play,...

Final Project – Greg Archer

ExploreTours - Adirondack Park: Episode 1 This is my final VR Storytelling project. The concept is a company or VR series that goes to different locations and does VR tours to show people things that they may not be able to get to or that they may be interested in visiting. This particular series is on the Adirondack Park. There would be multiple episodes of different locations in the park. This episode is of hiking trail leading to the summit of Bald Mountain. I decided to do this as a straight...

Moore Final Project

For my final project I decided to work with the Matilda Joslyn Gage Center, a museum/home of a suffragette and abolitionist, to create an interactive audio tour type scene. I used photogrammetry to create objects from the museum and place them in this scene. I originally wanted to recreate speeches from the Seneca Falls convention and pair that with the footage I took from the Women's March at the beginning of the semester but am happy I was able to learn photogrammetry instead and apply it to this scene. The...

Kyle Miller Final VR Project – Drive In Movie Theatre in Unity

For my final project, I set out to construct my own personal Drive-In movie theatre in Unity. Two years ago, I visited a drive-in theatre about 30 mins outside Syracuse and saw the horror film, It Follows, with a couple friends. It was the first time I got to experience a film in a way I thought had went extinct. In reality, there are still a few drive-in theaters in the U.S. but the number of them has gotten very low. This project was a way for people to relive...

Sarah Luo_Final Project: To be a giant or dwarf (Interactive Experience in Unity)

◆The core concept of my final project: I always believe VR can be used more than just an entertaining tool, so I hope my final project can be both funny and soul-touching. I would like to describe the project as my first attempt in testing the power of VR in philosophy and psychology. It is built upon a simple but profound philosophical idea: When you believe you are a giant and master the power that other people may not have, you may overlook and ignore the most subtle, precious, and beautiful things around you. I...

Final project: Campus tour for Public Diplomacy Summit 2018

After talking to one of the co-chairs of the Association of Public Diplomacy Scholars APDS, they mentioned they are having a Public Diplomacy Summit in 2018 in Washington DC. Since the summit is not on campus, they wanted a 360 video that would allow the participants to see the campus and experience what Public Diplomacy scholars  go through on a daily basis. Syracuse University campus is a very beautiful campus with various spots to film the 360 video. I started to brainstorm with the APDS on where they often go,...
