"Life In The 21st Century"

Tomorrow, my Broadcast Journalism students will take a field trip to Parsons School of Design in Manhattan to visit with graduate students using this information visualization (I like this term) software VizRT. I am very curious to see how this compares to what we are currently using Serious Magic's Visual Communicator. Right now, when my students put together their stories (packages) of video they shot of school events they are able to edit (and use graphics) right off the computer. While it eats up TONS of hard drive space the final product gives the student a true newsroom finished product. Or it's at least...close enough.
So tomorrow should prove to be interesting since Parsons also has a Game Design program. Here are some games completed by some of their grad students in 2004...pretty impressive.
