NYU takes admitted engineering students on a virtual tour of Mars

For the Class of 2020 at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, the sky is really the limit. The school is taking its latest crop of newly admitted students on a virtual tour of Mars, with 2,000 students within the U.S. receiving a VR cardboard device named Tandon Vision alongside their admission packets. The device is accompanied by instructions for downloading a smartphone app that the school has specifically created to enable the experience. It’s a nod not only to the growing popularity of both virtual and augmented reality, but also lets NYU use the technology as a powerful tool for engaging with with both newly admitted as well as prospective students in the years ahead. “It’s really important for us to engage with both students and their parents when they are trying to make a decision,” Elizabeth Ensweiler, Tandon’s director of enrollment management, told Digiday.

April 22, 2016

Earlier this week, WSN reported on Tandon’s cardboard virtual reality googles that it’s giving out to admitted students in the class of 2020. Meant to be paired with the Tandon Vision app, which can be downloaded on Apple’s App Store and is the true innovation of the two, the creation is just the latest in a string of virtual reality developments from NYU’s Brooklyn-based engineering school. Now, the WSN video team is here to show you what all the hype is about.

Speaking at New Media Technologies and Documentary Design April 26th

http://www.dctvny.org/workshops/clinics/new-media-technologies-and-documentary-design

New Media Technologies and Documentary Design

Yet to be fully undertaken by filmmakers, explore the possibilities of building alternate documentary narratives using various digital media softwares. Discuss concepts of experimental storytelling and how documentary can be enhanced with dramaturgy, lighting, sound, and scenography to recreate a moment in time. Explore site specificity, considering how the structures that surround your projection become a part of the story you’re telling. This workshop poses more questions than answers, and challenges filmmakers to expand their canvas!

Size: 12 students | Duration: 3 hrs

Materials: All you need to bring is yourself! Unlike a large panel discussion, this clinic will offer invaluable knowledge from a working artist in an intimate round-table discussion. Curriculum will be provided in advance and available on eReaders during the workshop.

All DCTV Workshops have limited enrollment and require pre-registration.
By enrolling you verify you have read and agree to our Workshop Policies.

This year we are going to go bigger and better with our events and to kick it off, we will be focusing on the hot topic of Augmented Reality!

Augmented Reality will one day change the way we interact with the world and New York City has all the ingredients to be the center of the augmented world.

Abbreviated as AR, Augmented Reality is a type of virtual reality that aims to duplicate the world’s environment in a computer.

This February, we are going to showcase 3 companies (with an Irish twist) that are going to take over the AR scene in NY.

Companies to present are : Firstage and Frame Store with the final company being announced on the night.

We are so excited to bring these great start-ups to you! Reserve your ticket now for what will be a fun night!

Thanks to our hosts at WeWork Chelsea and to Glenborn Corp for providing the beer and pizza.
