In the motion capture studio: These are the capture points that the computer picks up (light reflective material) placed on joints to capture realistic motion

The room has these red (ultra red?) lights that are used to capture the points, the data then goes into the computer and a computer program analyzes the information

How it is used: media type="youtube" key="ReWeAKKD9Jg" height="344" width="425"

How it can be used with video games to create an interactive/virtual reality simulation.media type="youtube" key="rBqiFznPTUU" height="344" width="425"

The set up (stage, camera, computer)

The stop action figure ranges of emotions:

The whole group of us (Japanese students and Sheridan students) at the goodbye party (the Japanese sure know how to party and treat their guests like gods.... it was an incredible experience)

NARA DEER (possibly my favorite part of the trip) they were everywhere, look at how cute this is: media type="youtube" key="BNQmlElrw64" height="344" width="425"
