In the first of a two episode series, we talk to Grand Valley’s Digital Media Developers. Here we have a conversation with Hunter Bridwell. Many of the projects he works on involve virtual or augmented reality. We discuss several of thees projects, including a project for Occupational Therapy that simulates the kind of “visual field cut” that often occurs in patients after they suffer a stroke. We also touch on Hunter’s background in photography and how technology such as mixed reality can play a role in increasing empathy in education. And perhaps most importantly, Hunter brings us coffee from the Sparrows Coffee Tea and Newsstand (roasted by the Schuil Coffee Company).
