MRH staff notes - 6
- 3D virtual reality images (click-n-spins, easy to do)
- Short video clips (harder, but not that hard)
- Audio clips (not always applicable, but easy to do)
- Screen captures of things like Google Earth and SketchUp!
Literally dozens (or even hundreds!) of photos are possible
with an article: you can just click through them powerpoint
style.
We also predicted the common availability of HD video back
in 2008. At that time, the only smartphone on the market was
the newly-introduced iPhone and it didn’t have video capability
back then. Joe Fugate posted in 2008 on the MRH forum:
I predict HD video cameras will become like cell phones and
in 5 years they will be everywhere.
This also means anyone who submits an article to our new
mediaZine can easily shoot HD video footage to include in
their article.
Model Railroad Hobbyist
is all set to deliver this
kind of cool interactive media in our free mediaZine!
My how far we’ve come! Today, HD video in a smartphone or
tablet is considered standard equipment – to the point they’ve
almost killed the low-end digital video camera market!
So how about it guys? Build us an article and send along some
phone photos or video. No need to do anything more compli-
cated than that!
TrainMasters TV
We launched Trainmaster TV (or TMTV for short) in
November, and it’s getting favorable comments by the sub-
scribers. TMTV was the December cover story.
