GradFest Aftermath

We showcased our augmented reality (AR) experience at Grad-Fest, which was a success.

We received great feedback from students and a couple of followers on the Emerging

Media production instagram. The excitement from students encouraged our team to make

our experience as interactive and immersive as possible.

360 Camera

After Gradfest, we rented out a 360 camera from the Creative Marker Studio at CSUN, to

use to capture a 360 environmental image of different well-known locations on campus.

Our goal was to have a specific section on our app that viewers could tap on and it will take

them to an option page where they can pick which location on campus they would like to

visit. The immersive factor will be that viewers will find themselves placed in 360 view in the

location they chose.

Graduation Cards

Over the past week, we have been busy creating more of our graduation cards, which are

designed to resemble graduation caps with tassels. Each card features a QR code that we made in the form of stickers. Our team ended up completing about 480 cards that are

ready to be given away to students on May 1st, at our table event.

Buttons & Fonts

In the past few days, we have been developing a set of different designs for the buttons

and fonts that will be found in our AR graduation app. We hope that the set of buttons and

fonts we choose fit the color palette that has been shown throughout the experience. We

also had to fix a couple of buttons that appeared cut off in our experience or we simply had

to create new ones due to some of the changes we made to our app. Here are some

examples.

Table Event

Our group’s next step is to distribute our cards that have QR code to our Beyond The Tassel

project. We designed a couple of different flyers that we would like to use to announce our

event. Here are our latest designs.
