What makes a strong narrative for design?

A great story is based on a profound yet simple question. Can I sum up the story in a short question? I’m a movie buff and what moves me is…

The Making of a Course Trailer

The course trailer is up on YouTube. Although it runs for less than 2 minutes, it entails a tremendous amount of work. Many people chipped in to help out given the…

Course Metaphors

Courses as conversations – this metaphor was first brought to my attention several years ago by a VCU professor, Deb Cowles. Inspired by The Cluetrain Manifesto (Rick Levine, Christopher Locke, Doc Searls,…

    I do like Adobe Aero. The app is still in beta version and so is still buggy. Here’s an AR card I made by following James Zachary’s tutorial. AR Interactive Card

    Learning Figma and CoSpaces (#30DaysXR, Day 4?)

    January 20, 2022 /

    I’ve been busy setting up my new MacBook Pro with M1 Pro chip (16GB, 1 TB). I had to upgrade my 2018 MacBook Pro because learning to build XR apps had eaten up all my hard disk space. Unity3D, XCode, Visual Studio for Mac, VRoid, and all the other apps I had to install to make the assets had me down to my final 30 GB of space, and the laptop just couldn’t run fast enough. Folks, XR is an expensive venture! I did not continue with the School of…

    Simple AR Layering with Halo AR App (#30DaysXR, #Day3)

    January 12, 2022 /

    Today, I finally completed a halo using the Halo AR app. It took me a while to figure out how to use it from start to finish (sharing the finished product).

If you need some info, contact me. Essentially, here are some instructions that have been left out: You must create the…

    360VR Brief Intro (#30DaysXR, #Day 2)

    January 12, 2022 /

    Alright, another introduction, but this time using 360VR. The software I’m learning to use is CoSpaces. I love it. It has a supportive user community made of educators. [Updated: Jan 20, 2022]   My first inroad to CoSpaces was through a friend, Micah, who taught me to build my first Jenga game for a MIT xPRO course I designed.   My next project in CoSpaces is to build an escape room. Watch this space!

    Interactive Augmented Reality (AR) Business Card (#30DaysXR, Day 1)

    January 3, 2022 /

    YouTube is a treasure trove of learning possibilities. My latest and first 2022 learning adventure involved learning to build an AR-enhanced business card. Voila! Here it is. To play in AR mode, scan the QR code. You can download a QR code scanner from your mobile phone’s store (Apple App store or Google Play). Acknowledgements: Much appreciation to Monica of Academic Phoenix Plus for the tutorials. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world.
