COSC 729/477:Virtual Reality and its Applications

Group Projects, Semester: Spring 2012 (Flyer)

 

Project 1: Virtual Apartment Simulation

Students: Murat Aksu, Arinze Nwolisa, Tattwamasi Tripathy and Heather Langdon

This project presents a virtual apartment complex. The goal is to create a simulated environment which will showcase the following:

  • A mock-up that investors can use to perfect their vision
  • A model that the construction company can use to manipulate and prevent unnecessary pitfalls
  • A real view of the living environment for the potential tenant

Project 2: Virtual Zoo

Students: Antoinette, Grogory Jones, Kayode

The goal of this project is to create a Virtual Zoo that can be used as an educational tool to teach children about animals. The project also wanted to create an interaction between the animals and the humans in the zoo to make interacting with the virtual zoo more entertaining and to help children enjoy the process of learning. The virtual zoo for example, can help children learn the names of the animals, their characteristics, their habitat and their behaviors.

Project 3: Fire Evacuation procedure at the International Washington Dulles Airport

Students: Titus Thomas and Jeff Ruffin

The goal of this group project was to

  • Create a virtual simulation of a fire evacuation at Dulles airport.
  • Through virtual simulation show effective ways to conduct a fire evacuation
  • Show a room perspective as well as an individual perspective of a fire evacuation

One person in the environment will be able to be controlled be the user of this software while all other animation will be used to create reaction to a fire outbreak in this environment.

Project 4: Course curriculum modules for Computer Science Students

Students: Saurabh Shirgaonkar, Sherrod Shelton, Antoine Lathon

The goal of this project is to create course currciculum modules for computer science students. Engineering and Mathematic courses are typically considered as difficult by college students and exhibit high failure rate. Due to the complication and abstract nature of computer hardware, it is a challenge for students to understand the principles and concepts related to computer organization.  The section of museum called  “Inside the Computer” make Computer Organization concepts easily understandable using the virtual tour. It provides  knowledge of different motherboards, parts on motherboard, IC’s,  computer peripherals and their working.
