Elevator Pitch Assignment: The Zombie Asylum from Wang

My idea for the final project is to create a zombie asylum with Unity. I plan to put a first person controller in a scene that looks like a dark, creepy asylum. (If it cannot be achieved well in Unity, I will consider using C4d). On the walls the player can see notes (written in blood) saying that the experience failed, all patience became zombies, etc. I will also add sound of zombies. Some zombies will appear in one end of the corridor and they will come closer and closer...

Virtual Corn Maze Synopsis

My idea is to create a virtual corn maze. It will be in Unity3D and will be a first person idea. It will start out with the first person controller in front of the maze and you will hear some noises behind you, so you would use the mouse to turn around and Donald Trump will be running behind you trying to catch you before you can escape the maze; if he does, you will be forced to fully pay for the costs of his wall (thanks prof. Harper). So,...

Final Project Pitch – Bria Holness

My final project will be apart of a collaboration piece with LaQuin Alexander. We are planning to produce, stitch, and edit 4 different scenes in 4 different locations to overall produce a 360 interactive music video featuring Outlaws Dance Troupe. I will produce, stitch, and edit 2 of the scenes in 2 different locations and she will be responsible for the two other scenes. This is a project we have decided to take on because this type of dance music video is growing in the dance video industry and we...

Elevator Pitch

I'm a huge baseball fan. Growing up a huge Cubs fan I always wondered what it would be like to be on Wrigley Field and see it from the players' perspective. That was my inspiration for this final project. I want to give Syracuse Chief's fans the chance to see what goes on on the fields, in the dugout and maybe even behind the plate. I am in contact with the Director of Multimedia Production and have plans to visit the stadium next week to plan shots and execution of...

Final Project Proposal – Whetstone

Juli Whetstone As a Media & Education grad student, I am interested in how emerging virtual reality technology can be used to help students learn. For my final project I will be using Unity to create a learning environment that teaches about the solar system. I think it's important for students to learn about scientific topics in an engaging way. I am also incorporating this Unity scene into my final project in my Minds in New Media course. For that class I will be designing an experiment to test if learners...

Final Assignment Pitch – Welcome to Kepler

For my final assignment, I am collaborating with the TV Production Capstone Class to create a 360 trailer to promote their TV series. Background on the sci-fi series: 100 years in the future, a group on 15,000 humans left planet Earth because the living conditions had become unlivable due to nuclear warfare and climate change. The humans move to the planet Kepler which is similar environmentally to Earth. However the Kossans species-- the native race to Kepler-- don't like their new company and begin killing off the humans. Only 63 humans remain...

Final Assignment Pitch. Newhouse Innovation and Invention

Our project seeks to frame the world of Newhouse through the lens of innovation. Over the years the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications has been an important part in driving the growth of the media. Lyndon B. Johnson gave his Gulf of Tonkin speech at the commemoration of Newhouse 1. Great newscasters and entertainers like Regis Philbin graduated from the school and went on to change the media as we know it. Being a part of Newhouse we’re immersed in its history and blessed with its many opportunities. But...

Creating and fighting an Animated Character in the HTC Vive using Playmaker in Unity – Assignment 6 / 7

In this post I won't go over how to animate a character in Unity or the basics of Playmaker. Those can be found here in a tutorial by Professor Dan Pachecho. However I did want to touch on the subject of Global Variables, which are very important to this construction. Basically, a global variable can be called by any object's FSM and whatever is stored in the variable is shared throughout the scene. This allows you to store values such as Health or distance and call them from any object....
