PrioVR Full Body Gaming Suit (Up and Coming Technology)

PrioVR Full Body Gaming Suit

                PrioVR is a full body system that uses high-performance inertial sensors to provide 360 degrees of low-latency, real-time motion tracking without the need for cameras, optics, line-of-sight, or large awkward equipment. PrioVR’s sensors are placed on key points of your body to capture your movements and translate them on-screen in real-time. PrioVR is wireless, allows for multiple simultaneous users, and will work anywhere - indoors or out, in capture spaces of any size.
                PrioVR is available in three versions, the Core, the Lite, and the Pro, all of which are wireless and compatible with each other. All suits include two hand-controllers with action buttons, triggers, and joysticks. The joysticks let you easily navigate through large worlds without actually walking, while the trigger supports a familiar shooting experience. And all PrioVR suits come with demo games so you can experience the freedom of full-body gaming from day 1.

Poaching Flashcards

Quizlet is a website where you can create, study, and learn from online flashcards made by you or others on a certain topic. Today I created a flashcard set about my global issues topic poaching, there are other features in which you can learn these terms, there are games and tests. I like using quizlet, it was not my first time using this website. I have used it for Spanish and AP US History and now Emerging Technologies.

Gym Sing Photoshop

                   Today in class we were further experimenting with photoshop and I chose to edit the picture I took of the sign for the Main Gym. I messed with the hue and saturation of the color sea foam green and eventually got this awesome color for the sign.

The Mini-Mizer

Today we were told to choose a Web 2.0 tool and play around with it, I chose to create an avatar made by "The Mini-Mizer". I chose to create a replica of my favorite character from any novel or film. It isn't a perfect representation but I created Legolas from the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I liked this tool a lot and I like how you can make your character look like lego people, legos were my favorite back in the day and I would use this tool again definitely.
