This Matterport scan and brief story about the apartment of nursing student Megan Reeves is part of a class Matterport project called Where WVU Lives. The project required students in the WVU Reed College of Media Experimental Storytelling class to scan the living space of a WVU student who lives in a unique place and character to show how WVU students live. We did research and interviews, engaged on social media, created a website and promoted our work.
