Students have chosen two topics affecting the Bed-Stuy community for their Virtual Reality Projects. The topics are School Segregation and Community Gardens vs Affordable Housing. During these next weeks, students will create a pitch for a solution to problems they have researched. In it, they will provide diagrams and 3D representation of their solution. They will also begin to research different VR tools such as the Tilt brush, the HTC Vive, and 360 Video. After, they will decide as group what the best VR tool is for their project.
DIVAS (Digital Interactive Visual Arts Sciences) for Social Justice aims to bridge the digital divide by combining media literacy and cultural awareness along with a vast understanding of technology to encourage young women in under served communities to pursue careers in computer science and new media.
