What I learned:

Psychology is a really interesting career to look into. It is very varied and opens many doors. Something that I would like to do is earn a degree in psychology, get a job in that area and then eventually work to getting an M.D in neuroscience. Then I will become a psychiatrist. That window is the one that I would like to look into, but I could also take another path, which is just staying a psychologist, but that would be as fun or interesting. I am really passionate about how the human brain works.

How much will study this cost?

Augmented Reality

-Topic name

-Correct label (TOPICS)

-What you know about the topic before your research

-What you wonder or questions you have about the topic before researching (at least 2)

-Links to where you found the most useful information (at least 2, NOT Wikipedia, although you can use it to help you)

-Bullet list of things you learned about the topic (at least 5)

-A short summary of how this topic connects/relates to you or your life

-Questions you still have (at least 1)

That at the moment they are not very good. They can just tell you basic information about things different from what you are seeing. For example, the weather or sports. They can't analyze things and tell you more things about them. For example, I want them to, when I see a cool car, analyze it, scan it, search it on google and tell me everything I want to know about it in a second. Like iron-man's suit.

How much would these glasses cost if they were mass produced?
What can they analyze and search?

What I learned:

• Google glasses will come out in more or less a year. They will be available to everyone and will cost about 1,500$
• They cannot interact with the environment. They can only tell you simple things like the weather.
• They can take pictures when you say a word.
• The maps feature doesn't work like it should. Instead of telling you where to go, it just shows a mini-map.
• The military already has a prototype version of the iOptik system, which lets them view the battlefield and receive orders.

This relates to my life because I am really fond of buying new technological things, so that when they come out I will try to get my paws on one. And in the future they can make my life a lot easier.

The question that I still has is:

When the commercial version comes out, will it be able to analyze things in the environment?

Google Day 1

Goals:
1. What is the best programme to do FX.
2. Make the storyline for the video I will make.
3. Start brainstorming what FX I will use.

1.
http://duelvfx.net./
This is a fantastic site for me to have a basic knowledge and once I am not so ignorant, I can start watching more advanced tutorials. I will use Adobe After Effects.

2.
Script for video: It is going to be 3 minutes.
In my park, I walk into the middle of the screen and look  confused. I'm bored
I look at my hand and erupt them into flames.
I start to juggle the flames for about 5 seconds, but get bored, so I mash the flames together, and make one big ball (basketball). It's still covered in flames, so I blow on it and it freezes to an ice ball.
I spin and the setting turns to a basketball court. I throw the ball and it goes in the hoop. I appear in a basketball stadium and the crowd goes wild. Through the door busts a dinosaur and it starts to roar. I open my jacket and take out a M16. I start shooting it and I kill it. I start hearing this buzzing sound and I wake up. I go to my fridge and open it. It starts shining so I walk in it Narnia Style.The world is like a forest, and there is a portal in the middle of it. A helicopter passes over. A bunny comes over (my dog with ears) and I pick it up.
A panda walks over and does the iron-man thing on me.The bunny turns into a light-saber and I deflect it. We have and epic fight, and it ends with me killing the panda. The end

3.
I will use the hands on fire. Fire freezing. The backboard shattering, and the transition into the stadium. The dinosaur animation, the M16 firing. The door effect (fridge). The portal, the helicopter. The iron-man thing, the bunny turns into a light-saber, and the light-saber fight.

Google 20%

For my Google 20% Project I want to learn how to do FX. I really want to make something that initially is very boring and uninteresting and make it visually incredible. These are some examples of what I wish I could do. FX is basically taking a clip and inserting a effect that makes it look like something else. It's really mindblowing when someone manages to do it well.

My goal is to make something with a mix between the football one and the Rollercoaster Tycoon one. I'll take some simple clips and mix them with very boring non-interesting clips of myself and use FX to make an awesome story.



final project prediction
