Ashley and I are driving back to Edmonton from San Francisco and I have limited internet connectivity so this blog post will be fully updated with links and quotes in a couple days.P.S. If you ever get a chance to drive the west coast, DO IT!

This is a super duper quick list of the links I’ll be sharing at the #ONAunconf Unconference session at the 2012 ONA conference in San Francisco

 

Try to do something different. NOT TV. “make something worth talking about” – Seth Godin.

-Multimedia — use best tool to do the job. … sometimes video, sometimes sound slides, sometimes panoramas, sometimes interactives.

– I want there to be a holodeck like on Star Trek!

-I want to have the news beamed into my brain like in the Matrix or Simpsons.

I hate boring video

Interactive Beer Trivia Game

Posted by ryanjackson on Sep 12, 2012 in 360 Panoramas, Game

While working on the beer story with Lewis Kelly I came up with the idea to make an interactive beer trivia game to go with it.
Click here to play the game.
Lewis signed out some beer books from the library and made a list of fun trivia facts.
I then wrote the code for krpano using this example as a starting point.

 

I photographed almost all the bottles at Sherbrooke Liquor. They have hundreds of brands available as single bottles so I didn’t have to open any boxes.

I setup two strip boxes and one strobe under the white background. It took about three hours to photograph all the bottles.

So thirsty!
