Summary:
To start this project was a very difficult. Google Earth is different on many computers and We had many compatibility and visual issues. In the end, I was pleased with the outcome despite the few flaws in the presentation.
Idea:
To create a virtual tour that would show different aspects of urban city life. Showcasing different areas of the city that were of personal interest. We also had the idea to literally bridge the two cities together using a piece of architecture or icon. The Golden Gate was the easiest and most rational choice. We would accomplish this by transferring tours across the iconic Golden Gate bridge and Lions Gate bridge in Vancouver
Group:
Our group was lost for ideas when we first got together. Team Vancouver wanted to go in a more artist approach. Amal and I had other ideas about connecting ourselves to our school, city, and culture and relating that to Vancouver some way. We came up with a tour of the city and divided the city into districts and choose spots we enjoyed.
Making the Project:
One huge problem I continued to have was Google Earth unexpectedly shutting off. It was a huge annoyance on top of learning a new program. Google Earth is an amazing program with some incredible capabilities and visually, I thought our presentation was amazing. Despite the photos from different tours switching themselves, even after the hours and hours Amal and I spent trying to fix it and make it function correctly. Despite all of that, I enjoyed our long distance project. It made the world seem like a much smaller place. Media makes it possible to bridge space, time, location, and language instantly.
