Building My Immersive Libraries/Museum (Final 6)

Step 1.

Step 2. 

Step 3. 

Step 4. 

Step 5. 

      The Libraries and Museums Technology Working Group creates and executes the implementation of virtual libraries and museums in the Immersive Education virtual world. People are so used to having to go outside of their home to attain information from a library or museum. The Libraries and Museums Technology Working Group puts all the information found in libraries and museums at our fingertips.

      The information that was formerly only available to us through physical mediums such as books and magazines is now available to us through digital media such as the internet. Better yet, a great amount of new material can be viewed in forms other than print, such as: videos, pictures, and audio files. This expands the richness and the value that we can put on our learning materials. 

       Interactive museums viewed through the LAM.TWG can give the spectator a tremendous learning experience, just like going to a real-life museum. Gaming technology and interactivity allows the user to view artifacts and works of art in the immersive online world. The fact that these museum features can be accessed by virtually anyone, anywhere, makes them immeasurably more convenient and accessible than a real-life museum. 

       The Libraries and Museums Technology Working Group is open to all members of the Immersive Education Initiative. The founding chair-member is Jerome Yavarkovsky. Melissa Carrillo is the other chair of LAM.TWG. Together, they manage and implement all of the media available through the LAM.TWG. They are truly making library and museum learning widely available to the masses with this program.

Step 6. 

This is a screenshot of the brick structure I created in Meshmoon as part of the structure of my immersive library.

Here is another shot of the brick structure.

This is the brick structure from the other side, with my name in text in the background.

This is a fence I built around my library.

This is the landscape of my immersive world.

This is the stone wall on one side of my immersive library.

This is my immersive world after I somehow made the ground disappear. The link to my blog is in the background, along with text of my name and some red balls.

This is a screenshot of me building more structures in the immersive world.

This is a shot of the fence being built up.

Below are shots of the photos that I uploaded.

Above are screenshots of my work in Meshmoon. I created a virtual world with my own photos and links to working YouTube videos and research papers. This is a finals exercise from the Immersive Education course I am taking at Boston College.  The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.  For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc.
