Old Projects

These are the projects that people worked on in previous iterations of the course.


2005 class projects:
Project 2 focuses on the creation of a immersive environment as a historical or pre-historical reconstruction. That is you could do a reconstruction of a historical site where human beings once lived, or an exhibit on pre-historic creatures such as dinosaurs, or an exhibit about the conditions on the early Earth. The historical reconstruction should also at least be 30 years old, and preferably a lot older than that.

Your exhibit should be historically accurate, based on current generally accepted scientific and historical records, and you should be able to cite scientific or historical references for your work. As a caveat, you could also create an exhibit on previous scientific theories that have been proven wrong, since those previous incorrect theories are still historical.

The environment should be educational - that is, the user should learn something from the experience, and the experience itslef should obviously benefit from being experienced in VR. The environment should be designed to fit within a museum setting and give the user(s) a 15 minute experience. It should be highly interactive. You can assume that the museum will have someone standing by the display to help people with the equipment, but you should provide an easy way to reset the application from the beginning. 

You should describe how the VR display or displays fit into the museum setting. That is, what does the overall room look like? Are there other physical displays of artifacts, or videos playing that share space with the VR display? How are you going to control the lighting and the sound? Remember that you need to think about the flow of people through the exhibit.
