Jonathan Lin

Jonathan Lin is a junior majoring in philosophy. He joined ATLAS so that he could get internship experience as an international student. He interns as a 360 Video Intern for Michelle Rome and Randy McCarthy, Assistant Director and Faculty Director of the ATLAS Program, respectively. His main responsibility for the summer is make an interactive 360 video by using a game engine called Unity. Since he is a returning intern from the spring semester, Jonathan will be working on the footage he recorded during the spring semester and use it to make an interactive video. He is currently importing the videos into Unity and making them viewable in a VR headset, and creating buttons and prompts for users to interactive with, such that users can use these buttons/prompts to switch video in the VR headset. He spends much of his time reading Unity's VR documentation as he did not have much knowledge on Unity prior to this project. Jonathan has developed his skills in this game engine and though the project is challenging, he's learned a lot about VR from it. His future career plans include being a Video Game Designer, and this internship experience will help him get there. As a fun fact, his favorite food is sushi!
