unit 11

Digital games:

When you play a game, you'll have complete control of the character and the camera. You're the one driving the story forward and making the character move. So not only does the animation need to look good, it needs to look good from every possible angle.  

If the game is third person, and the player rotates the camera around they'll see the walk or run cycle from a completely new angle. This new angle can revealing things like knee pops that may not have been visible in the normal camera view. 





Mobile phones:

In 1972 the first mobile phone was created and was named a shoe phone because it resembled a boot. On this phone there was no animation as the technology was so good. But as the time went by and the phone screens increased in size and the technology improved it was possible to have animations, in 2013 to 2017 smartphones can do different type of things such as accessing the internet to serve the web, recording, taking photo's, accessing the apps and smartphone can run Javascript coding to play animation such as the apps jumping up or down to play games also watch youtube, news and sport.




















Internet:
In 1989 the internet was created and in 2006 Myspace was created to interacted with people around the world it was like facebook but different.
