S n a p s h o t Instructional Systems Technology Studio

PhD student Jesse Strycker tries out the Organic Motion software in the School of Education’s Instructional Systems Technology studio. The new software allows IST students to create “serious games” used for educational purposes using a motion capture system that requires no special “tracking” suits or additional specialized equipment. The program adds to the recently-renovated studio space in the Wright Education Building in Bloomington.
