Blog post #3 Interview

For my capstone I am interviewing  Aaron Stanton who is the Director of Virtual Reality Institute of Health and Exercise. I am interviewing him because he looks like he has good experience in the Virtual Reality field. The Virtual Reality Institute of Health and Exercise is in California. At the Virtual Reality Institute of Health and Exercise they have Virtual Reality games that help you with fitness some of the Virtual Reality games they have are Knockout league, Electronauts, Cricket Club, Gorn, and much much more. If you want to see my interview questions for Aaron Stanton look down below.

  8. Your website says you rate games based on MET.  I did a little research and found it stands for metabolic equivalent, but I’m a bit confused because the description sounds like calories burned. Please describe this in simple terms.
  9. Do people only use the games you have at the Institute or can they borrow them to use at home?
  10. Are all the VR games single player or can some be multiplayer? If it can be multiplayer do all the players have to be at the Institute or can some players be at a different location?
  11. How else is the value of the games you use at the Institute assessed? For example, do some games make a player want to play longer which means they get more of a workout?  Or, do some games help a player build on a skill like get better at boxing?

Capstone Blog Post #1 Choosing a topic

In my class my teacher assigned us project called Capstone. Capstone is a Ted Talk, Ignite, or Movie. I have not ye decided what I’m going to do out of those three topics. For a Capstone you have to have a topic.

My top two topics are baseball and World War 2. I choose baseball because I have loved it since I was 3. I choose World War 2 because it is a very important time in history and I would want to study it. I choose baseball over World War 2 because I am much more passionate about it.
