This Interdisciplinary project with students from Anthropology, Religious Studies, Visual and Dramatic Arts, Mechanical Engineering, History, and Bioengineering is a VR experience assembled in Unreal Engine. 3D models were created using photogrammetry from photos taken on 3 location: Rice tunnels, Natural Bridge Caverns, and the Houston Cistern. This exercise was part of the Ethnography Studio/Anthropology project taught by Andrea Ballestero with Johannes Birringer and Marie Saldaña.
The DMC assisted with loaning out cameras, audio recorders and projectors through its checkout program. After the media was captured on location, the DMC assisted students in processing the photos using photogrammetry software and editing the audio and video. Students collaborated to make a multimedia installation with their final edited multimedia and a VR experience.
