Augmented Reality 🤳🏽

In Benitez’s Augmented Reality (AR) class he got the chance to develop four AR experiences. Benitez also got to work with real clients including the opportunity to lead a team. Benitez was the project manager for the Monarch Butterfly Team. The project he led is a media project designed to share the life of the Monarch Butterfly through a post card collection. Benitez AR experience along with his colleagues will be displayed in the Hartman Nature Reserve Cedar Falls, Iowa.

 “Nixson actively seeks out feedback, inspiration, and teamwork from his peers which has an immensely positive effect. His generosity makes his team members feel included, and his high standards for his work inspire his peers to challenge themselves. To say it simply, he understands people. I've had Nixson as a student in several classes from which he has cultivated his ability to tell dynamic stories in design, code, social media, writing, and interactive media. This combination of magnetic personality, self-motivated work ethic, and a large skill-set is rare. He has my highest recommendation.”
