Guest Post: My time in Germany… by Dan Tocik

We just wanted to share these images that show the huge range of projects our Digital Media Global student Dan Tocik was involved in during his study abroad in Germany.  He’s back to Scotland now and using his new skills for his honours year.

Talk to us if you are a current or prospective student and you fancy an adventure like this!  

Thanks to Dan Tocik for the images.

Featured Project: Blending spaces in New York

 

Our year 3 students Mat and Alison have been working with Dr. Tom Flint at Farmingdale College in New York State.  They’ve worked with students there to create an exhibition that blends art and technology with interesting spaces focussed around the  “Highline”.  Mat and Alison received funding from our mobility fund to enable them to travel and build on what they are learning at Edinburgh Napier.  Here they are demonstrating some Augmented Reality technology to the group. You can follow their progress on their blog https://blendedspaces.tumblr.com/ and on Tom’s Twitter account – @tomflint

#ThrowbackThursday – Dovecot studios 360 video

We’re only going back two years this time! Here we have a short clip from a project from 2016 led by our lecturers Dr. Tom Flint and Andrew McKelvey.  The project  that provides visitors to Edinburgh’s Dovecot studios with a unique view onto the weaving floor.   The 360 video features hotspots that tell the user more about the different roles involved in the creation of the Dovecot’s amazing tapestries.
