Final #6 Step 7: Testing My Fellow Classmates' Immersive Libraries

We were instructed to add 5 Youtube videos pertaining to this course to each of our own virtual worlds' libraries in Meshmoon. These are the screenshots I took of each video I was able to upload:

This was a screenshot of my first uploaded video, (obviously hitting pretty close to home here!): "Aaron Walsh: Immersive Education and the Education Grid".

My second was "iED 2010 Summit: University of South Australia".

This particular shot was of the video "Immersive Lessons at Harvard".

My fourth is called "TEDxPearlRiver Presentation About Immersive Education".

And my fifth and final screenshot from my virtual world comes from a video entitled "Immersive Education Web-2-World Opensim Tool".

And this one just looked pretty awesome from the view, so I felt it necessary to add. :)

This is my work in helping my class create their virtual libraries/museums in the virtual environment Meshmoon.  It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.  The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.  For details, visit the Immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc

Class 11 Assignment 2: WebGL Chrome Experiments That FAIL in Firefox

For this exercise, I looked at various Chrome Experiments in Firefox, a separate browser. Initially these experiments were able to be viewed in Google Chrome, but the demostrations listed did not work in Firefox.

1. Valley of Uncanny #01

 

This experiment yielded a screen graphic detailing the reason why the application would not work in the Firefox browser.

 

 



2. 4irpucks

 

 

Instead of an error message, the screen stayed on a loading page for the game for about 5 minutes until I decided that it clearly wouldn't work.

 

 



 



3. Car Visualizer Classics

 

This experiment merely popped up a simple error message stating that the browser did not support WebGL.

 



Class 11 Assignment: Chrome Experiments Using Google's Chrome Browser

This was an exercise in experiencing Google's WebGL and the 3D capabilities it offered.

This first Chrome Experiment was called "Valley of Uncanny #01":

 

This experiment offered a virtual glimpse of a contorting face, as if an optical illusion. The "face" spins around and morphs into different shapes and sizes as it makes each revolution.

The second experiment I found is called "4irpucks":

 

It offered an interactive 3D game that simulated real-life air hockey, with the choice to play as a single player or multiplayer against online opponents.

My third choice of experiment that I found is called "Car Visualizer Classics":

 

This was a fairly simple concept, it allowed the user to look at a 360 degree visual of a car, and allowed them to change the type of car and the color, and even had music.

Final #3: Group 3D Building Project

This was a bit difficult to accomplish, considering the amount of lag involved with so many people in one area trying to build and add objects at the same time.  On your own, this application is much easier to maneuver around in than Meshmoon's virtual worlds, but I didn't anticipate so much issue with having so many people on one server trying to do the same thing! But it was fun to be able to collaborate and work together with the rest of the class, and it was really helpful to have the communication through the Audio Whiteboard for any questions or help we could give each other.

This is my final screenshot of the area I was to create (lattices):

Here's the roll call that decided what areas we were going to cover:

And here are some process screenshots of the overall work done:

This is my work in helping my class create a 3D house in the virtual environment Second Life.  It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.  The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.  For details, visit the Immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
