Final Project: Adding 10 New Content Elements to My Immersive Library

Here In these images I added directional.

Here is where I added more video content into my Immersive Library.  All material closely relates to Immersive Education.

Finally I added more .pdf research files into my Library allowing for more material on Immersive Educational subject matter.  This is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. This course is called Discover Computer Graphics.  For details, visit the Immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc

Final Project: Adding 5 PDF Papers to My Immersive Library

Here is the entrance to my Immersive Library.  My Immersive Library is not complete just yet.  Soon I will be adding more Immersive Education content to be used for research purposes. 

As you walk along the bridge there is a fork.  To continue straight would lead you to my personal image library, which displays picture I own, that once clicked on will open a separate browser to a related website.  To go left, would lead to the Immersive Educational Research video section.  Finally to the right is where the .pdf research files are located.

Here as you can read is the portal to the .pdf research paper links.  Once you click the image a menu will appear like the one in the image below.

Here you can click open in a browser option which is the pointer finger all the way to the left in the above menu.

Here a browser appears that displays my own personal Immersive Educational Blog.  In this specific post are links to different research papers and articles that all relate to Immersive Education.

Here once a link is click, a .pdf file will appear in a web based format.  This one Specifically is about online learning and how it is revolutionizing k-12 students.  A very interesting article indeed.  This is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. This course is called Discover Computer Graphics.  For details, visit the Immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc

Extra help for Final

Just an extra tip for people on how to upload the script in "Scene Storage."  In order to do it click the link Aj provided in step 2. (*I only know this procedure works for chrome) From there right click the screen and a menu should pop up.  Click "view page source" from that point another tab should open that is identical to the previous page.  In this addition tab, right click the screen again, in the menu click "save as."  From there you can click and drag the file into "Scene Storage."

To place the script file in "script ref" click the three periods at the far right of the "[0]", from here click on the top drop down menu "Scene (http://Meshmoon.eu...) there in the drop down menu is "meshmoonscript.js" Now note this is my unique name, because this is the name I personally saved the script file as.  Yours will be different.  Choose your .js file then continue to follow the rest of Aj's steps.  Hope this helps.

Final Project: Testing My Fellow Classmates' Immersive Libraries

Andrew Langone: 

In these displays are screenshots of my experience in Aj's Immersive Library.  First shot is me after entering the world, and stepping upon a transporter to bring me to his library in the sky.  The second image is me arriving from the portal.  The third picture is me watching one of his research videos. The final picture is me clicking on a personal photo of Aj in the Army, which then lead me to "goarmy.com" after clicking it.  As you can notice the bar atop the screen which indicates a question if I want to open a separate browser. Great work.

Jeff Andrade:

Here in these photos are screenshots of me after I had entered Jeff Andrade's world.  The first photo, I am approaching his library where I can begin viewing videos.  The second photo is me watching a research video posted in his library.  The third photo is me simply exploring his virtual library followed by the final photo which is me watching another video posted in his library.  All around good work.

Noah Benjamin-Pollak:

Here in these photos I am exploring Noah Benjamin-Pollak's Immersive Library.  I have to say his library reminds me of a Picasso painting with the way the stairs are set up.  Pretty creative.  The first photo is me shortly after I entered his virtual library.  The second photo is me viewing a photo of him holding the Stanley Cup.  Looks like in a back yard somewhere.  How did you get to do that? pretty jealous.  Anyway, the last two videos are me viewing videos in his library.

Final #4: High Resolution Avatar

Here in these displays are high resolution avatars I have created in a program called "Make Human."  This program uses high contrast details.  In the first image I tried my best to render an avatar that was a copy of my face.  Unfortunately there was no facial hair option.  In the other images I practiced creating avatars to show the many diverse options available.  I created a male, female, and a child.  This is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. This course is called Discover Computer Graphics.  For details, visit the Immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc

Building My Immersive Library/Museum

After constant attempts to enter my previous Meshmoon world that resulted in failures, I decided to start a new space. This is the entrance to my Immersive Library/Museum.  Two snowmen welcome you in.

 At the end of the walkway over the water are the displays in my Library.  Each display is a picture I personally took with the exception of one, which is me running in the Cape Cod Marathon.  This one was taken for me.  Each display can be clicked upon to open a website relating to the picture. 

This is an alternate view of my Library.

You can notice on top of the screenshot appears a toolbar asking permission to open a web browser.  This occurs once you click the display.  Here this display is of me playing a MMROPG (massive multiplayer role playing game) called "Star Wars the Old Republic."  Games such as this require the same techniques and operations as Immersive Education because it allows multiple people to access the same virtual world.

 This final picture is a display of a cube placed in my Library that renders the web page to this exact blog.
