REFLECTION

I knew very little about virtual reality going into this project, and that why I chose it. I was intrigued and knew it had a newsworthy quality that should be told to young professionals like myself. I’m proud at how much I learned during the process including how to create the audio story over education.

Integrating Virtual Reality into a Professional Setting

Virtual Reality is Booming Across All Industries  SAN MARCOS, TX- Imagine sliding on a headset and transporting to another reality, a virtual reality. While the user is physically in an empty room, they can interact with their environment and engross themselves in another world.

Audio Assignment: Virtual Reality in Education

Virtual reality is being developed in many fields such as healthcare, EMS training, and trauma therapy. Unsurprisingly, it’s now being integrated into education. I spoke with an educator, Cindy Nieman, and 2nd grade bookworm, Harper Stone, about how they see VR defining the future of education. There are children around the country that may not

Photo Assignment: Harper’s 8th Birthday Party

Harper Tindol turned 8 years old in true Disney fashion. It was a black, white and red rollerskating ball in Waco, Texas. “Cruella has really great style, and that’s why I love her,” said Tindol.

Data Visualization

Virtual reality was once something only talked about in sci-fi movies or futuristic novels. However, the interactive experience is now more accessible than ever. Tech companies are rapidly competing to produce effective, multipurpose virtual reality (VR) software for office workspace, video gaming, medical training, and marketing tactics. The data below attests to the endless avenues

16 Delicious Places to Eat in Central Texas

I have created an interactive map with some of my favorite places to eat in and around San Marcos. You can also see my recommended entrees for each restaurant. They won’t disappoint.

Campus Transportation is Damaging Education

Texas State University provides a bus transportation system for students living off campus. However, with inconsistent schedules and constant overflow, the transportation system seems to be doing more harm than good. I spoke with Arthur Fairchild about his experience with the bus in the video below.

Water Fountains on Campus in 2021

I chose a topic that was relevant to students everywhere and one that I haven’t heard much talk about. However, that is not to say it isn’t important. Drinking fountains are a necessity (especially when your campus is on a hill), and while Texas State University has compiled with many CDC recommendations, the drinking fountain

Capturing and Captioning

Smartphones are capable of taking pictures seen round the world. In the event of something newsworthy happening right infant of you, in an instant you can deem yourself a citizen photojournalist with the click of a button. However, it’s important to follow a few rules that can greatly improve the quality of your photos. Here
