In-class assignment: Chatting with a classmate in OW

Final Project Object Selection and Conversion

I chose to work in these two projects:


- The hallucination project.
- The dream Museum.


First of all I search in the 3D google warehouse for my two objects.

I found an scene of the legendary city of El Dorado. The scene not only represents a dreamed city, it also have part of Native American Indian culture.

I found an illusion that can be use as a simulation of visual hallucination.

It is necessarily to click in the export menu as a 2D object.

These are the settings for this object called crazy cube.

Select export as a 3D object.

These are the settings to export this object called El Dorado.

This is how the hallucination object will look in wonderland.

This is the El Dorado scene in wornderland.

I documented my work in the iED research documents.

In-class assignment: Announcement Summary (video)

The announcement from the iED initiative explains the release of a new feature that will allow to create 3D content and experimented in virtual worlds. The process have taken 2 years of development and teams working together. The international consortium has showed images and videos about 3D objects redesigned. This is the "create once, experiment everywhere" initiative and  high resolution scholar content. Also the announcement describe the future work of the Smithsonian Latino Virtual Museum to be able to experimented in many virtual world.
