    I really like escape rooms, so this was very fun! The lore was also interesting too

VR and Empathy Machine's

 What I really appreciated about Chris Milks Ted Talk was how he expanded upon the idea of film. he describes it as "the same now as it was then." But what Chris wanted to do was to use technology was to make stories that couldn't be made with current techniques. Each time he presents a new piece, people seem to have stronger and stronger emotional responses to it. I think this speaks to how powerful immersion is. The more immersive the piece is, the more invested the user becomes. I think this is what his goal was with the last project when he did clouds over Sidra. It was incredibly moving to see her entire environment. It was as real as it could be. He could have made a documentary on Sidra, but often times those can become movie-like. This project was the opposite of that. "You are sitting there with her... and because of that you feel her humanity in a deeper way." I think this piece captured that idea beautifully. It captures her world in such a way that e

Sharing Digital Texts - Cameron Whitney

  Post Secret Ted Talk Post Secret Website Post Secret reminds me a little bit of the Yellow Arrow Project. It involves anonymity and sharing words with others. Thinking about this website and project warms my heart and simultaneously makes me feel like I could cry. It started with Frank Warren, a man who printed out 3,000 pre-addressed postcards in 2004 and randomly handed them out on the streets of Washington, D.C. He included instructions on one side and the other was blank. The instructions told the people who received the cards to “anonymously share an artful secret they’d never told anyone before.” Some people send in deep secrets and others send in funny ones. It is a beautiful form of digital literature as he posts them on the website so people can view new ones every Sunday. I’ve always wanted to send one in and I know that eventually, I will.

VR and Empathy- Hannah S.

 I really appreciated the TED talk from Chris Milk about how VR creates empathy. I came into this with a very limited understanding of the capacity of VR. In my mind, it was for games and fun, but there was also uses like working with veterans who have PTSD. However, I did not realize the true scope of VR and how much it could accomplish. I thought his first project "The Wilderness Downtown" was shocking enough as it inserts where you grew up and takes you back to those roads and to your house. Having technology that can do that alone is mind boggling to me. However, "Clouds Over Sidra" went even farther and is able to place the viewer into someone else’s life, environment, and view. It is amazing to think of how much this could do, like in his example of being able to spread awareness to the people who are in control of the lives of many.  It is amazing considering I thought movies had gotten good at being able to suck you in and make you feel for the characters.
