Final #2: Monocular Depth Cues

ATMOSPHERIC PERSPECTIVE: the bigger box that is circled looks clearer and more detailed since it is closer,while the square farther away is becoming fuzzier and less clear within sight.

LIGHTING AND SHADING: One side of each box that is circled in red is a darker shaded side compared to the sides that are lighter. The darker side is less exposed to the sun, which then leaves it dark.

LINEAR PERSPECTIVE: as this pavement moves further away, they become smaller and smaller until it looks like there is a point that they vanish and cannot be seen by the eye.

OCCLUSION: The bigger house circled in blue, is almost covering a smaller house that is beside it. Since it is bigger the view of the other house becomes limited with sight.

 SIZE DIFFERENCES: the differences between similar objects that are the same size but in different areas look different from each other. The chair and couch closer to the avatar is bigger compared to the others that are smaller since they are farther away.

TEXTURE DENSITY: The red circled part of this wall structure show bricks that are tightly close to one another, as if they are highly dense compared to those up closer (circled in blue) are less dense and is instead more detailed.

These are screenshots from the 3D online world Cloudparty. In this exercise, different screenshots were taken of different monocular depth cues that I was able to find in sight.Objects that are circled are the objects the represent these monocular depth cues. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.

Webgl Summary

Webgl stands for a webgraphics library which is a Javacript API, this allows any web browser to have the ability to run 2D and 3D graphic computer games and software. As a result, there would be no need of plugins and the computer would run smoothly. Webgl can be mixed with other HTML elements along with Javascript. An example of a program that first used this was Google Maps. Webgl also works alongside a GPU in order to prevent crashes from happening.

Cloudparty Building

In this exercise, I used building tools in order to create my own home. At least ten objects needed to be used, so as a result I added a variety of furniture.

Gold Coins-Vector vs. Bitmap

In This exercise I used Microsoft Word to create the top coin, which in vector format and is a gold Susan B. Anthony coin and the bottom is in BITMAP format created in GIMP. Both were resized from the original silver coins that were made earlier. Both show different qualities. The top runs smoothly while the bottom is pixelated.

Silver Coin-Bitmap Image Exercise 2

This is a silver coin that I have created on GIMP which is in bitmap format. I used the eclipse tool, pencil tool, text tool and paintbrush tool to create this coin.

Silver Coin Exercise-VECTOR

 

With this exercise I used vector graphics to create a silver dollar. I used shapes and line shaping tools in order to make the dollar.

iED 2013 at Boston College

The SUMMIT: Immersive Education Initiative is a conference held every year in Boston College where educators, researchers, and scientists come together to present and discuss projects and developments that deal with computer science and developmental research. Many new ideas are shared and many collaborate to open others' eyes. The 2013 summit is focusing on 3D virtual worlds and educational tools to improve education in many different lenses, and full immersive education.

Class 4, Assignment 4

I created a picktochart at https://magic.piktochart.com and added information about myself. Take a look :).

Class 4, Assignment 3

The following are three videos that I have chosen from the IEd page at youtube.com. All three interest me since they are all virtual worlds, but serve different purposes for different reasons. The first video shows save science which is an interactive program where students can explore different settings, solve mysteries and cases, and learn things through the power of science. The second video Web2World, demonstrates an educational program, similar to the one that I use in AvayaEngage. Although they are both educational, Web2World shows a cooler interface with the ability to view many different postings at the same time. The third video which is an interactive program at South Park Elementary is a great way for young children to learn about different animals through 3D. This way they have a closer look at the animal's anatomy and have a better understanding.

Midterm 6

This is an exercise where a text circle was given multiple layers in order to create a rotating effect. I repeatedly added layers and anchored them by increasing the angle.

Texture Mapping

Below are 6 different 3D objects from CloudParty. Three of them are texture mapped, which are the first three below. The last three are flat shaded/colored. Notice that those that are texture mapped are more detailed showing a greater definition of color and shape. The flat shaded objects show very little detail and are more shape like.
