Studienleistung

Group presentations January 24 and 31. The groups will be the same as in the AM3a Übung.

Each group make a 5-10 minute presentation on one of these topics:

  1. How does the VR system you are developing relate to the source text you base it on? Give some examples of how you interpret specific passages in your VR system.
  2. Explain your project in the light of Elleström’s concept of media transformations, pointing out how it relates to the concept pair ”media representation” — ”transmediation”.
  3. Present your project based on the distinction between time based and space based media/art forms. Discuss how appropriate such a distinction is for VR systems.

If you need Studienleistung without taking part in the AM3a Übung, please contact Prof. Eide.
