Happy National Technology Day!

During the CS50 Fair, computer science concentrator Christine Hong, A.B. ’19, explains the virtual reality environment she and teammate Tim Gallati, ’18, a master’s student at @harvarddivinityschool, produced for their final project in “Introduction to Computer Science.” They created a virtual reality environment modeled off The Society of Saint John the Evangelist’s monastery in Cambridge. An individual stands in the center of an open room, which features a celestial environment outside tall windows. Soft monastic chanting echoes in the background as an audio-responsive halo of glowing boxes overhead moves up and down as the frequency or pitch changes. The project taught Hong that there are many opportunities to use virtual reality to create a unique user experience. “Technology is rapidly evolving while life is getting faster and faster paced,” Hong said. “We wanted to use technology to create an environment where people could take a deep breath and meditate. It was so much fun to be able to develop a kind of alternate universe.”

Happy Technology Day to All
