Transmedia Storytelling and Entertainment -- A Syllabus
Given the interest out there in transmedia or cross-media entertainment, I thought I would share the syllabus for the course I am teaching this fall at the University of Southern California. I am still shifting some details, as I deal with the scheduling of guest speakers, but all of the speakers listed have agreed to come. The readings are a good starter set for people wanting to do more thinking on this emerging area of research.
Zach Whalen | Assistant Professor <br />Dept. of English, Linguistics, Communication <br /> University of Mary Washington
At the University of Mary Washington in Virginia, I teach New Media in the English Department, and much of my coursework deals in some way with transmedia. Most directly, I teach an upper division course in New Media studies that involves students in documenting and archiving ARG texts and eventually producing their own. Here’s the website for the most recent iteration (i.e. the second): http://real.zachwhalen.net, which includes some excellent ARG post-mortems on our “Gavin the Gorilla.” explique Zach Whalen by May 15

3D Sensing and Visualization Seminar (ITPG-GT.2900) - Kyle McDonald Offered: Spring 2011, Fall 2012 This course will explore recent developments in 3d scanning technology and the tools and techniques for collecting, analyzing, and visualizing 3d data. Once relegated to the realm of academic and military research, 3d scanning has recently been made available to amateurs through DIY implementations like DAVID laser scanner, or, in the case of Kinect, through open source reverse engineering of cheap consumer hardware. We will cover different methods of 3d input, including structured light, LIDAR, time of flight, stereo matching, and optical triangulation -- and focus on techniques for organizing and collecting data, creatively visualizing it, and using it in an interactive context. This course will be taught using openframeworks, a C++ toolkit for creative coding.

Georgia Tech University, Digital Media Ph.d (http://www.lcc.gatech.edu/graduate/dmphd/): “The study of these new [media] forms…is an emerging field, one that requires a convergence of the methodologies of several traditional disciplines, and one that is also defining its own methodologies of research and practice.” précise Aaron Smith. by May 15
