The Explorers- Update 5, 12/07


  • What each individual in the group worked on over the last week
    • Ekta, Mushahid:
      • Sat down and talked to Campus and Visitor relations. We were informed that special approval from marketing, communications and chancellor was needed which is a very long process and they might not agree for a class project. Also video of the renovations on campus grounds are not in the school’s interest. Many private companies also tried to contact for a VR tour project and the request was declined.
      • Acquired the tripod and audio recorder needed to start videotaping the scenes on campus.
    • Ivan:
      • Further attempts to contact Campus & Visitor relations via email & phone were unsuccessful.
      • Created the list of locations according to team discussion on important locations to have in the final video.
  • A description of the accomplishments made
    • We were able to successfully work with the Ricoh Theta and ready to film at the locations.
    • Our plan b is ready to be taken and should be in effect by Friday. A video is projected to be ready by early next week.
  • A description of the problems encountered
    • Our request was denied to work with a private tour guide by the university. We are resorting to plan B and will start filming immediately.
    • Still sorting out audio issues but should be fine.
