Objective |
| The significance
of my project is to improve the ICEE Web site by providing a
virtual walkthrough of the ICEE lab online. The virtual
walkthrough will be interactive and allow users to access
different aspects of the ICEE Web site by clicking a 3D model
such as a computer monitor. The virtual walkthrough will not
only provide an interactive experience for the user, it will
also provide important information about ICEE such as the people
involved, the projects currently being researched, and contact
information.
|
| Abstract |
| The project is a
3D virtual walkthrough of the Innovation for Construction and
Engineering Enhancement computer lab located in the Bobby Chain
Technology Building, room 231, on the University of Southern
Mississippi’s Hattiesburg campus. A 3D representation of the
computer lab will be created using VizX3D, a new and powerful
VRML authoring tool. This software will then be used to make the
virtual lab interactive by embedding links to different ICEE Web
pages inside of 3D objects that users can click on, supplying
the 3D environment with background MIDI music, and providing the
3D environment with an infinite horizon that can be defined with
images.

Results |
| Once the project
is complete and tested, it will reside on the ICEE server and
their will be a link to the file from the Web site. Any future
modifications to the virtual lab will reflect new additions to
the ICEE Web site and any physical changes to the ICEE lab
itself.
This project will give viewers
an opportunity to learn more about the ICEE organization and
experience one of ICEE's many technological creations. |
