Longer term goals include VR/AR, astrophotography, high speed photography and similar. (Controlling scope creep is an issue.)
• One task will be looking at the equipment we need to either repurpose, ex: Kinect scanner/webcam (we have several) Video recording (either via things like screen capture for classes or cameras)
