A Pug's Life

-
For my piece of electronic literature, I chose to use the program Twine.  I have been developing my CSS and HTML skills using this program in the Digital Tools and Technologies course.  Using Twine for my Digital Humanities course project allowed me to put my abilities to the test.  I was also able to introduce myself to Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator in converting my sketches into a digital format.

My Twine story, A Pug's Life, is about a grey scruffy pug who can't find his human friends.  It is based on a pug I know who is unique and comical.  He is an individualist, yet cares deeply for his owners.  It is a choose your own adventure story which provided me an opportunity to develop my skill set.

As billions and millions of dollars go into police training, there is still obstacles that officers and military face that they cannot prepare for before it happens in the line of duty when it matters. I have done research on how interacting with virtual reality can have similar effects of real life experiences and therefore correlate as training to police and military personnel, to enhance their understanding of how to handle intense situations. Using virtual reality can be cost efficient for funding and can be effective alongside of the use of real person to person training. Police and military may still use force in certain scenarios, however, through virtual reality they can be taught how much force to use and when it is necessary. My Final Essay link is here .
