Final Project

Brainstorming and Discussion

We will discuss your initial ideas as a class

Brainstorming sessions will be in class between Wednesday, March 1 and Wednesday, March 8

Storyboards and Scene Graphs

Develop an idea for a Virtual Reality project involving the Ygdrasil Software.

Your idea should have the following qualities:

• demonstrates original thinking
• demonstrates a grasp of the Ygdrasil software
• requires the eight weeks you will be given for design and implementation

a) Develop a storyboard

• show what each scene will look like
• sketch out interactions in a descriptive manner
• sketches, images, video
• written descriptions, flow charts, etc.

Project Idea and Storyboarding will be presented to class on Wednesday, March 15

b) Create a scene graph of your project

· illustrate all interaction in your scene

o routine interactions such as collisions with walls, walking on floors can be left out

o repeated interactions do not require repeated scene graphs

o models and actual positions of transforms can be left out

o one should be able to determine the objects and their positions from the storyboard presented before

A copy of your Scene Graph is due before class on Wednesday, April 12

Final Project Presentation

• consist of a scene file that implements your scene graph faithfully
• be fully tested before presentation
