Presentation!

Finally! Presenting the Virtual Tour as we speak! Way to go Jan!!

Getting ready for the presentations

iPad

Done!

I finished up the final touches on the website today.  It's been uploaded to the school server and is ready to rock for the presentation this evening.  We will have iPads available for the audience members to check it out.

I am glad that this project is complete!  It's been a labor of love.  I've learned a lot about Dreamweaver and coding.  It's been challenging, but very satisfying!

Here is the link to the site where it will be temporarily.  All of the files are going to be turned over to the FLCC Marketing Department and hopefully it will find it permanent home at flcc.edu in the near future.
FLCC Victor Campus Virtual Tour

Finishing Touches

As we near the presentation of the Capstone Projects, everyone is getting excited and nervous. 

The campus tour website is coming together nicely.   The final video is shot, edited and uploaded and that page just needs that link to be updated.  The photo page is complete.  The walking tour itself is functional. The page that features just the 360 panoramic photos still needs to be hammered out, but other than that, it is just "Wish List" tweaks - little things that we wish were a little slicker.

Stay tuned.

Presentations and Critiques and Tweaks, Oh My!

On Friday, April 26th the three New Media Capstone projects were again presented to the panel for critiques.  The progress thus far on the Victor Campus Virtual Tour project was well received and the panel gave us a lot of great suggestions.

Afterwards I met with Heidi Marcin in the Marketing Department at FLCC and showed her the website on one of the school's iPads.  She seemed very impressed with the project at first glance.  Over the weekend, Marketing was able to really delve into the site, offer up suggestions and tweaks and Heidi got back to Paul and I via email.  It is very encouraging to note that most of the issues that she found that needed to be addressed, we had already talked about with the panel or were in process of completion!  Good news indeed!

Completed Items:

• The 360 Panoramas are working really well.
• The videos are edited and uploaded.
• The tour in general works as expected.

Items in process:

• Photo page
• 360 stand-alone page
• Links to social media and the college main site.
• Bottom "You are Here" functionality.
• 360 shoot for Conference/Multi-Purpose Room scheduled for 5/2/13 at 10am.

We are also considering adding one more video of the 3-D printer in action!  A demo is scheduled for 5/2 as well.  

We are counting down the days until our public presentation on May 10th!

This was a really cool demonstration that we got to see on our visit to the Victor Campus.  I'm really glad that these students were here to show us what they were working on.
