Project Description
Then/Now is a 3-D digital world featuring various parts of downtown Raleigh. This space allows viewers to freely explore a virtual cityscape, while encouraging them to interact with archived image, text and audio of historic buildings, spaces and events. Multimedia is strategically placed in the same camera location as the original archived photos, giving viewers a chance to see displays of the past, and participate in a new, virtual experience.
Melissa Church will on hand to discuss her project at the following times:
Tuesday: 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Wednesday: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Thursday: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Friday: 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
The NCSU Advanced Media Lab team has created a valuable resource of tutorials on the basics of Unity 3D, available at http://vimeo.com/channels/ncsuunity.
Joyce Rudinsky, domain scientist for the arts and humanities at the Renaissance Computing Institute, has facilitated this project in collaboration with RENCI technologists and coordinated the display of the project in the UNC/RENCI Engagement Site Visualization rooms.
