In addition to the Sphero Bolt activity, Ann Holt also had her ART 100 students experiment with immersive technology by exploring 360° video. The class was introduced to 360º storytelling and asked to come into the IMEX Lab to choose a video to watch from the ‘VR For Good’ playlist. With the techniques and topics they each viewed in mind, the students were then tasked with creating their own. The theme was ‘things First Year Students should know’ and the students worked in six groups to create these experiences. This culminated in a ‘viewing party’ during the last week of classes where the students were able to watch everyone’s videos in the headset.
