If you missed the Sustainable Living EcoFair held in the Roblin Centre Atrium (in April) here’s an opportunity to check it out in the full glory of 360° video. At this point you’ll need to view the video with Chrome and/or on YouTube’s app. (Android only) but you’re guaranteed to see something new every time you explore the event. 360° video technologies are new and developing so quality and playback options are limited.

Over the last couple of years, eTV has been implementing a variety of robotic technologies into our production set-up. These technologies have helped expand our contribution to teaching and communication activities throughout the college. Streaming and live events can be captured in a more dynamic, captivating manner while new innovations around panoramas and immersive learning can be produced faster with high quality reliability. Looking into the future, eTV will continue to implement these technologies into our development plans; apart from expanding our contribution to RRC’s Vision and Mission, robotic technology makes for awesome looking visuals so please check out the video below.

Welcome to the start of an exciting new year. Here in eTV/Learning Technologies we’re off to a busy start in 2015 with several productions, streaming events, and project starts already underway. This year we look forward to exploring and implementing some cool teaching and learning technologies including 3D video, 360 degree video panoramas, interactive app. development, immersive reality (Oculus) as well as enhanced lecture capture and video streaming services. For some real fun stuff, take a look into the world of Microbiology (with time lapse video) and see what happens when you inoculate TSI (Triple Sugar Iron) agar with Citrobacter freundii and a funky sound track.

The video below shows an inoculated sample on the right and a uninoculated sample on the left over a 24 period.

In case you had any doubt about this quote from George Orwell’s Animal Farm check out the “all knowing” nod from the sow 48.seconds into this video. It’s all a part of eTV’s/TLTC’s work with Apprentice Manitoba and Assiniboine Community College to create unique immersive educational products. The interactive panoramas that are being created will be completed early in the New Year but in the mean time we thought you might enjoy this romp through one of the pig barns at the University of Manitoba’s Farm and Food Discovery Centre.

Happy Holidays from the eTV gang!
