Today we spent the day touring the incredible technology that New Media students have available to us. A man named Chancy (I hope I'm not spelling that wrong...) from UITS was the tour guide.
First he took us to the huge 3 screened projection room that provides an immersive 3D experience in any programmer's "world". I have never seen or participated in anything like it. It was awesome! The next room he took us to had a very large television with (I believe) 4 individual screens working as one. He showed us how clear the resolution is by pulling up an image from Google as well as a 4K video on YouTube. It was amazing how clear the resolution is. There was also a 3D television in the room. He showed us an educational video that he created for middle school children. He explained that grabbing the attention of middle school aged kids is typically very difficult, so their idea was to create a video that is fun and interesting for them to watch.
I learned so much from this tour. I had no idea that (1) IUPUI had all of those impressive technologies and (2) that students are able to use them!! As long as a student has a well developed plan, the UITS techs are able to help you use the technology.
