The Instructional Technology Program presents

DEMYSTIFYING QUICKTIME VR
January 26th from noon to 1:30
3110 Etcheverry Hall

Please join us for an informal brown-bag lunch presentation to learn about
QuickTime VR, a technology that can be used to create interactive immersive
environments-including panoramic scenes and objects that appear to
rotate-based on either photographs or computer-generated images. Affordable
creation and playback tools are available for both Macintosh and Windows
operating systems.

In this presentation, faculty and staff will demonstrate and discuss some
QuickTime VR projects, emphasizing instructional applications as well as
strengths and limitations of this technology. We'll also go over the
equipment and process necessary to make QuickTime VR movies.

Presenters include Professor Ruth Tringham and her GSR, Michael Ashley, who
have been using QuickTime VR in their archaeology classes; Don Bain,
Manager of the Geography Computing Facility, who has created one of the
largest collections of photographic QuickTime VR movies; Gan Golan, who
specializes in computer-generated QuickTime VR; Robert Lettieri, multimedia
courseware specialist in the Berkeley Instructional Technology Studio; and
Judy Stern, the Instructional Technology Program's multimedia specialist
and author of several books (with Robert Lettieri) on QuickTime.
(Facilities and additional technical support provided by the Berkeley
Instructional Technology Studio, College of Engineering.)



This is the first of a series of presentations entitled DEMYSTIFYING
TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING, events designed to introduce UC Berkeley faculty,
lecturers, GSIs and staff to technologies that can enhance teaching and
learning.  The focus in each presentation will be on practical information
that can help attendees determine if specific technologies might
realistically be used in their teaching.
If there's sufficient interest, ITP may also hold follow-up hands-on
workshops.  If you have questions about this presentation or suggestions
for future topics for this series, please contact Judy Stern,
