Week 5: Reflection

This week we were introduced to the potential of real time environment software and skills in industry. It seems like a useful tool for security departments in monitoring large buildings and perhaps they could link locations in the virtual environment to camera feeds so if something unusual is detected, the nearest security camera can be conveniently accessed and replayed. I think the product also has great potential in education for example virtual models of historical buildings can be used in schools to visualise places that they do not have access to. This kind of technology also has potential in branches of the entertainment industry other than gaming, for example it could be used in large set design plans in filming so the model can be distributed to everyone creating the set but also actors so they can familiarise themselves with the environment they will be working in.
