Hacking Dancing Hotdog For Immersive Journalism

Homeless Realities is an immersive series about homelessness and housing instability in Los Angeles produced by JOVRNALISM from USC Annenberg. The series is comprised of text articles, videos, 360 immersive videos and augmented reality experiences.

The students from the Fall 2018 class also explored photogrammetry and videogrammetry in hopes to create 3D assets for the augmented reality experience.

Considering the challenges around AR distribution — often done via customized apps with small download numbers — the class also explored creating and publishing the AR experiences on the Snapchat Lens Studio platform.
