Project Proposal Report

2-3 students in each group

( Students are free to choose their own project. But it should follow the below guidelines)

Guidelines for Project Proposal Report:

• Proposal: font size 10. Arial or times new roman. Submit a hardcopy.
• A header should provide: - Project title - Names of all group members - Course and term
• GOAL AND OBJECTIVES: List out the goals of the project. [For example evacuation behavior simulation, plane take-off simulation, hazardous events, reconstruction or remodeling of a building, etc.
• MODELING: Describe the envisioned virtual environment (building, trees, people, furniture, landscaping elements, etc.) [3ds Max or Google Sketchup]
• Planned geometry, use of textures, animations, behavior and functionality, etc.
• Describe how the application will be used. (envisioned users, navigation, interactions, etc.)
• List software and hardware equipment that is required or desired for the implementation.
  • Choose between Vizard, Unity or Unreal
• The proposal should explain how the following will be implemented: (Give examples or screen shots of the environment)
  • Vision: Use of textures and 3D models to provide detailed information in the project.
  • Sound: Use speech, music or ambient sounds to help provide information about this place.
  • Animation: Use at least three animated object in the project.
  • Interactivity: Use at least three user-triggered events in the project.
  • Characters: Have animated agents (path following behavior) in the environment.
  • Sensors: Use at least three different types of sensors (Proximity, Time, Touch, and Visibility) in the project. (use at least three trigger events)
  • Player: Add a Player Controller to the Scene: First Person Controller or 3rd Person Controller
  • AI Implementation: AI functionality depending upon the project (navigation, behaviors, shortest path, etc.), implement different behaviors (selfish, altruistic, learning, adaptive, etc.) in the environment through a user menu (number of agent’s assignment).
  • Interface elements: Design the interface that include menu items such as buttons, etc.

• Incorporate the above functionalities and explain how/where it will be implemented.
• Explain the behaviors implemented for different agents/avatars according to your project.

1. Management Plan: Describe each individual group member's role and responsibility
2. Individual Contributions and Cross-Evaluation (WILL BE DONE AT THE END OF PROJECT)

PROJECT IDEAS

1. Course curriculum modules: Create with more inquiry based problem-solving activities and hand-on experiences based on Virtual and Augmented Reality educational modules.

Create Gaming Instructional Modules to Enhance Student Learning in Lower Level Core Computer Science Courses

2. Traffic Simulation .

3. Virtual Museum

4. Crowd Simulation and Evacuation Simulation

5. Online class room in client server network

6. Military simulations, combat situation, battlefield simulations

7. Airport Simulation
