iMedia

My name is Peter Carr and I am a senior Telecommunications major at Ball State University.

I am really excited to be a part of the iMedia program at Ball State. The first project that I have been assigned is the cardinal green way. I have ridden my bike on the greenway three times in the last week and I plan on shooting video of the greenway in the near future.

The trail is a wonderful mix, of nature and a long path for bike riding, running and rollerblading.

My paterner Becky and I have big plans for how to use interactive maps for a moblie appilcation for the greenway. Also we would like to create a weather alert to warn riders or walkers when a storm is coming and where they can find shelter along the trail.

I still waiting to hear back from the trail's director, so I can setup and interview and find what locations on the trail we should showcase in our interactive map with video and photos.

I am really excited to see how the project comes together. The coolest thing about the iMedia class is working with students from so many differnt disiplines to achieve one common goal.
