7p4 augmented reality

Using CoSpaces, I created a snowman getting hit by a bus then getting resurrected by Santa then getting hit again because I thought it would be funny and unique. I used the iPad as well to upload the video of the merge cube to my drive so I could put it on my website. Using iMovie I used sound effects and voiceovers to explain my video and to make it a bit more exciting. 

During this process, I learned how to use CoSpaces digital figures to make a story about a snowman. I also learned how to rotate and adjust the figures in CoSpaces so that they were perfectly aligned with the cube's edges. I learned how to freeze and color things in to make the story's background match the setting of the story and as well as make the characters feel like they're there.  

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project was tied to a global collaborator because I made a story and used my website to show it to the world. I also have placed the video and other sorts into the public's eyes allowing them to see and watch the projects/videos I have made. It also ties to Global Collaborator because I've added these things to my digital footprint.

A challenge I overcame on this project was moving everything without destroying my project. I was able to do it by using features in CoSpaces to rotate my cube with all of the other stuff that is attached to it. One other challenge I faced was making the cube's bottom face the top so I could place the things that I needed to down. I also had challenges with scaling, as the items were often too big or too small I managed to get this one out of the way by adjusting as much as I could until I felt it was perfect. 

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the way it ends. The reason why I would change it is because I'm slightly disappointed with the ending I created. One thing I would most likely change if I could do this again would be the order in which I did the cube's rotation because a lot of the time they were weirdly placed but I managed to make it work. I would change the fact that I didn't do any animation as when I realized there was an animation available to me it was too late and we only had about a day left in the project's time to work and by then the day was already half past.

Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offers Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, Marketing.  My project connects to the multimedia CTE program at Hastings High School. My project ties to this because I used an iPad, computer, and merge cube to express my ideas and thoughts to the world. Another reason my project ties to Digital Multimedia is because i am using my computer and other medium devices to entertain and give the information on what I so far have done and or am working on to the world.

My project connects to careers in screenwriting because using the digital screen and cameras I have made a story that can be seen and told. It also ties to screenwriting because i used media to create a video that is now being shared with the world. Another reason is that I am making a form of television (video) to express my ideas and create short forms of art.
