our team decided to do pacific northwest birds. this was super easy and fun to make. I made all of the panels in illustrator and got the images off of google search. I am really please with the way it turned out. I learned a lot more about illustrator and eye jack was very easy to work with. The only issues I had was with uploading sound. every time I tried uploading sound, eye jack would stop uploading its half way through. after lots of struggling I decide to give in and just let the panels be soundless. It turned out pretty great besides that.

I reviewed the oculus quest 2. Over all the system is really cool. I have never been interested VR until now. The visuals are very convincing but I they need a bit of work. Just clearer and cleaner would be nice. The lights make you a little motion sick after a bit, so you if you are new to the oculus or VR in general it might take a bit of time to get use too. The fact that the system is self contained is really cool but it also means that not a ton of connect has been made for it. The 4 external cameras make it so you don’t have to relay on anything other setup for the system to be aware of your surrounding. what I think is really cool is after you setup your boundaries the system well alert you to when you step out of your boundaries by showing you a faint out line of real life surrounding. over all the system is cool, easy to use, but a little expensive for not having a ton of content.

thank you for existing

lately I have been experiencing a lot of trauma with my grandma passing away and my boyfriend falling off a cliff. Thankfully my boyfriend survived and with the amazing support of our friends and families it has been ten times easier too get back on our feet. I don’t know how I would be able to do this on my own. I am extremely grateful of all of lessons I have learned and all of the sweet memories of my grandmother. I waited to make a card to reflected the love I feel for the people I have met and for those I haven’t yet met. Life is a precious thing.

Ar is something new to me so I wanted to approach it in a new way. I have never really animated before and I wanted to try to bring one of my drawings to life. This project was a big learning experience. I learned new things about my computer and tested my patience. The animation came out super fast and I knew I needed to add more frames to make it smooth. Since I animated in procreate I could only have so many frames, I had to split up the animations into two files and then combine them on my computer later. I was going to copy the images to add more frames but the ended up being easier said than done, I had to live with the fact that my animation was fast. The images were all transparent and it messed up the movement of the eyes. I add a white background to all the images and then promptly deleted half of my work. AHHHHHHH! but good thing I had it saved on my computer, So I could still open it in photoshop and fix it there.
