Summary
Throughout the Technology Zone, you can create to your heart’s content. No matter what your preferred medium from video, audio, virtual reality, 3D printing, or your standard workbench of tools, the newly renovated Forsyth Library will become your creative destination.
Imagine walking down a large flight of amphitheater stairs with pendant lights dangling from above. You are greeted by glass walls that showcase the latest 3D printers, scanners, and lasers in the MakerSpace. The creative and innovative vibes are seeping from every orifice as you peer in to see what innovative projects going on in the MakerSpace, the Institute for New Media Studies, and their shared classroom space. You’ve entered the Technology Zone on the lower level of the new Forsyth Library.
Flashy digital screens and virtual reality headsets catch your eye as you walk by the Institute for New Media Studies. Your mind wanders thinking of all the possibilities of the crafty things on Etsy that you suddenly have the confidence to create in the MakerSpace. Your technology and coding inhibitions are lifted as you see examples of the virtual experiences and features you could develop with a little help from the Institute for New Media Studies.
Just down the hall, you find the Media Lab, a user-friendly video studio that has preset scenes for professional-quality video cameras, microphones, and studio lighting. A green screen makes it simple for instant video production using any background and a lightboard rests in the corner of the Media Lab for producing those videos where the speaker writes equations and draws figures “in thin air”.
Next to that, an Audio Booth features an acoustically-friendly room with high-quality microphones and recording software that will be perfect for podcasting, recording your latest song or voiceovers, or layering your own audio files.
