COSC 729/490:Virtual Reality and its Applications

Group Projects, Semester: Spring 2009

1. Hotel Simulation By: Stacy Reddick, Dane Morgan

Hotel Simulation: The main goal of this application is to aid the visitors and to present VR as a tool for educational and training. In the virtual environment, what is envisioned is a modern hotel that consists of 3-4 floors. Only one floor will be specific, because the user will only be simulated to enter a designated floor and room. The lobby will have a warm, elegant feeling with colors of red, brown, and orange. Chairs, tables, a television, and a clerk's desk will be the furniture. It will also contain an area where the user can use the elevator. Plants around the perimeter will also give the area a real feel.

3. Virtual Museum for Animal World

By: Patrick Asata, , Akinseyi Famoyegun, , James Davidson

The objective of our project was to create a virtual museum which contains two exhibits. The first exhibit  will display a prehistoric era consisting in  dinosaurs  in a natural habitat. The second exhibit displays our solar system  including the sun and the nine planets ( we still consider pluto to be a planet) . Each exhibit will also contain information about the environments.

4. Evacuation Simulation for an Office Building

By Kareem Johnson and Dwayne Farme

This project is going to show an evacuation simulation of an office building with add functionalities.This application can be used to help people navigate through their office buildings. It shows them a 3 d image of their building and the closest exit to them. Texture was used to add colors and design to the walls and floor of the model. It was also used to add a realistic look to the tables in the model.Touch sensor are added to start the movement of the cameras. By clicking the box in the scene, the camera is start moving around the building.

5. Oribit Simulation for SAMPEX Spacecraft

By Jaye Clark & Elie Tcheimegni

As well as being a Model Institution for Excellence in the sciences, Bowie State University was the first University to have its own satellite.  The Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX) is designed to detect solar energy particles, precipitating energetic electros, anomalous cosmic rays and galactic cosmic rays throughout a solar cycle.  SAMPEX is monitored and controlled at the Bowie State University Satellite Operations Control Center (BSOCC). SAMPEX's orbit is a momentum-biased, sun-pointed spacecraft that maintains the experiment-view axis in a zenith direction as much as possible.

6. Modeling the Xseeed -Supercomputer at BSU By: Lubomír Říha and Victor Jeffrey Gittens

The objective in implementing the project was the creation of a virtual model of the Xseed computer of Bowie state University.  This allows the user to interact with the computer. It was also the objective of the project to facilitate the user in understanding how the computer functions how it is built and how to operate it. The user can also remove the compute node from the rack and examine the parts that make up the computer. The animation demonstrates how to change the processors, RAM sticks and HDD.
