Description
eScience has accumulated a collection of 3D models and
photographs from around ANU, for the purpose of creating
an accurate VR model for walkthoughs. This project will
instead create a more abstract 3D environment in which
to experience the spatially organised collection of 2D
images. The photos will not be used as texture maps on
3D models. Instead they will be moving particles, or
butterflies, or playing cards; organised into swirling
clouds, flocks, or vortexes. Navigating from place to
place in the abstract 3D world changes the collection
of images. If you just stand still, the images within
the group change to show different seasons, different
times of day, or otherwise progress. The purpose is to
stimulate memory and ideas, not simulate reality.
More Information
This project requires programming in Python and the
Py3D system used in Computer Graphics tutorials, and
all development will be on Unix/Linux systems.
