Vick to be part of cutting-edge technology

Nueweb Technologies (nueweb.com) will be conducting a photo shoot today in the Jamerson Athletics Center with Tech quarterback Michael Vick. The company, based in the Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg, wants to get images of Vick to create a cool three-dimensional effect and put those images on Vick's website.

The photographers plan to have Vick stand on a elevated platform that will spin around. While spinning, they will be taking photos of Vick with a digital camera and feeding those into a computer. The photographers have never done this with a person before. They have shot only objects, spinning those objects to a certain point and then stopping to take the photo. With Vick, they plan to keep him spinning to get the ultimate 3-D effect.

If all proceeds as planned, the company will have the images on Vick's website within a week.
