Final Project

Final Project

• Web3D, Fall 2001

2
Objectives

• Summarize what you have done this semester
• Practice the important nodes in VRML
• It will look (very roughly) like the next page

3
Each model contains an anchor to the homework you
did
Click here to bring up a new 3D wrl window
Click on the image of individual homework to bind
to the corresponding viewpoint
Provide a more detailed description on what the
homework is about
Include link to source file (wrl)
4
It consists of two parts 3D scene and HTML page

• 3D Scene
• Devise a Proto that symbolizes each homework
• A simple suitable geometry (similar to a bulletin
  board, easel optional) will do. Include the
  snapshot of the scene (as texture)
• Embed an Anchor in the Proto such that when
  clicked, the homework can be brought up in
  another window. A short summary about the
  homework should be included in the description
  of Anchor

• Set up a viewpoint looking directly at your
  bulletin board
• Place all your homeworks in 3D scene
  appropriately

5
HUD in 3D Scene

• To facilitate 3D navigation, provide a HUD-type
  device to go from homework to homework
• DO NOT USE the default viewpoint interface in
  VRML Plugin make something better!
• Use Proto in your interface design (e.g.,
  buttons)
• This HUD should be able to minimize (so that it
  wont occupy much space) and to maximize (to
  operate).

6
HTML

• Embed the 3D scene in upper half of a framed HTML
• In the lower half, describe each homework in
  sufficient details with a snapshot of your work
• A click on the snapshot will bind the viewpoint
  (upper frame) to the corresponding homework
• Anchor on the 3D scene should work as before
• HUD should always be minimized when viewed in
  two-frame setting
