This past spring semester, first-year students in Digital II: Intermedia created immersive experiences that transformed botanical watercolor drawings into a living virtual environment! 🌿🌻

Using After Effects and Virtual Reality technology, students brought their drawings into motion and created a 360° space where viewers don’t just observe the work—they become part of it!
