Virtual Reality Activity Description: Parents and kids will make their own immersive 360° drawing. With Panoform, a technology developed at NC State, participants will use paper, markers, and a smart phone to create their own immersive 360° experience. Panoform is a fun way to learn about simple immersive design.
Then, take an immersive virtual trip anywhere in the world. In the VR studio in the D. H. Hill Jr. Library, participants will use Google Earth VR to visit a dream location or fly over their own neighborhood in virtual reality.
Virtual reality sessions led by Pete Schreiner, NCSU Libraries Fellow, and Payod Panda, Pentair Fellow.
Drum Circle Activity Description: Drum circles are a way for us to enjoy a sense of community, find joy, reduce stress, and display teamwork while also engaging in self-expression. Rhythms are naturally mathematical, and the science and magic of acoustics allows for numerous sounds from a single instrument.
Drum circle session led by Rich Holly, executive director for the Arts at NC State.
