FINAL PROJECT 6c: ADDING 5 NEW CONTENT ELEMENTS TO MY IMMERSIVE LIBRARY & DELETING IT

Last 5 items of Content added to my World

  1.  
    Added my 6th paper to the fence, because, well, why not?! It was Multi-user virtual environments fostering collaboration in formal educatio
  2.  
    Added another paper to contractor building
  3.                        
    Added another paper
  4. Added yet another paper to the giant metal bin

  5. Added a video

  6. Added yet another vid, this time one from iED

  7. Added another video, this time to the back hoe because who doesnt want to watch a video off of a truck!

Deletion of Copyrighted Material

Contractors buildings are clean

My big library castle

Interior of my magnificent library

Slowly loading all of the embeded webpages within my world. This was a major issue since I linked over 5 youtube videos and multiple PDF documents to the world in a very small space. It constantly overloaded the world and prohibited me from moving.

View from outside through library's front door with all copyrighted content deleted

My final farewell to my meshmoon world, it was fun editing a partially created world and getting to play with what i created along with what others before me had


This is the last part of the 6th final, final content creation and deletion. 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


FINAL PROJECT 6b: ADDING 5 PDF PAPERS TO MY IMMERSIVE LIBRARY

Adding 5 PDF pages to my World


I added my first 5 research papers to the cones in the back of my library. While it does make them very difficult to read, the abstract design is more pleasurable to the eyes and will result in more clicks and people reading the full articles on their associated sites.

I think this is a great example of both ocular hues and culling, as it will only load the nearest few cone PDF papers that I am nearest too. 

This is the 2nd to last part of the 6th final, adding PDF documents to the world. 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

WebGL Chrome Experiments That FAIL in Firefox

Riordan's
1. xibalba - Pass, ran pretty smoothly and I made it into level 3!



2. JsOrrery - Pass


3.push-to-break - Pass, actually was a lot smoother in Firefox



WebGL Chrome Experiments using Google's Chrome Browser


1. Xibalba
From the author: Fight your way through the Mayan Underworld in this retro First Person Shooter. The path leads you through lush jungles, eerie catacombs and high tech bases filled with dangerous creatures, traps, vital power-ups and weapons.


First Fight!

Fighting from Afar

Found the Shotgun!

Also found death...

From the Author: jsOrrery is a visualization of our Solar System. It shows the accurate positions of the planets on any given date, as well as the distant stars. The accuracy of the simulation makes it possible to observe many interesting things such as Moon phases, Apparent retrograde motion of the planets, solar eclipses, etc.




From Me: An infuriatingly addictive game with the response time of a dementia patient on percocets. You will want to push your computer off a ravine before ever going back to this dismally useless and repetitive game. I highly recommend it to all of your family with motor control disablements or slow reflexes. They may actually find it quite well timed. 

From Author: WebGL game where you mash spacebar repeatedly to win.
