Immersive Journalism with Nonny de la Pena
(Speakers)
Journalist Nonny de la Pena will discuss immersive journalism. She will also bring stereoscopic "virtual reality goggles" that allow people to literally step into a 3D new story. Follow on Twitter at #immersj. Registration is available at journovation.syr.edu/?page_id=534.
She will also provide interactive visual reality demonstrations that afternoon, beginning at 1 p.m., in Room 494, Newhouse 2. Personal tours can be reserved by signing up at bit.ly/1353xAf. Priority will be given to SU students.
De la Pena is the pioneer of immersive journalism, a groundbreaking brand of non-fiction that offers fully immersive experiences of the news using virtual reality gaming platforms. Her most recent project, "Hunger in Los Angeles," creates the feeling of "being there" as a real crisis unfolds on a food bank line at the First Unitarian Church in LA. It was "one of the most talked-about" pieces at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. A preview is available online.
