Final #4: High Resolution Avatar

Below are some of the screenshots I took when making my high resolution avatar using MakeHuman. I experimented with many different features, including facial features, skin tones, body type, gender, wardrobe, and hair. I found MakeHuman user friendly, although sometimes it was very slow (which may be due to my internet connection or the memory on my computer). Overall though, I had a fun time creating my avatar in high resolution. This 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 #3: Group 3D Building Project

In this 3D Building Project, I worked with the class to create a house with a pool and a garage, complete with landscaping. We divided the project into pieces so we each had a specific assignment to complete. We used voice chat and text chat to communicate while we built. In this exercise, I learned about teamwork in the virtual and what can happen when one team member does not follow along with the group. As opposed to real world group work, when a team member does not cooperate in the virtual world, there is not much you can do to stop them. While we were building, we experienced a fellow classmate interrupting our project, and we had to try to make him stop, but we had to power to kick him out if he didn't leave voluntarily. My role in the project was to create the garage, and once it was completed, move it next to the house, which took some time, trial, and error. Although there were some difficulties when building, I think the final product was a success since it was our first time building as a group. This is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College.

1. Spacerun 3D II: Click here for experiment

In this experiment/game that was built in HTML5 and JavaScript using open web technologies such as WebLG. We have the opportunity to enjoy a simple one person race game against yourself. Your mission is to go around the track twice until you beat your best time. Its game where you learn by mistake and you only improve against yourself. Great game! Hard at the beginning, but as you play the game you learn to get good and finish the race faster.
  
2. FaceTron: Click here for experiment

In this experiment/game that was built in HTML5 and JavaScript using open web technologies such as WebLG. I played with a tank that was guided by the movements of my head. The game allows you to be involved in the game as if you were actually driving. When i moved my head left the tank went left, same when i turned my head right the direction of the tank changed.

3. 100,000 Stars: Click here for experiment

In this experiment that was built in HTML5 and JavaScript using open web technologies such as WebLG. We can appreciate a learning tool as well as an interactive script that allows you the opportunity to feel like you are in a planetarium and you feel part of the universe. The interactive feature is an awesome opportunity to learn more about the closest and farthest stars that surround our solar system.
