Dear colleagues, Is anyone offering synchronous (or recorded) virtual book or material experiences? If so, can you share your setup, equipment and whether you like it or not, especially for the camera? We're trying out different solutions. I have seen this video, but I don't think we'll be able to purchase the overhead camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH-qLVYPRp4. A colleague at my institution has shared ideas that I used in one class so far. Two moveable arms: one to mount ring light-for the books (or my face), and one to mount a webcam over the book. It was a pretty good set up, but I'm trying to find a better camera solution, as is she. We recently tested a DSLR mounted to a camera stand, but it didn't seem much better than the webcam and maybe worse. I recently had an architecture studio class experience where we looked at architecture publication design, including cover design, organization and page layouts. The webcam (provided by our library IT) had some issues with focus and the clarity for the text and page color wasn't the best. Thanks in advance!
