Class #11: WebGL Chrome Experiments the FAIL IN FIREFOX

Failed in Firefox:
Just A Reflektor - The link that I posted just takes me to the home page in FireFox and asks me to use Google Chrome for the best experience.

Find Your Way To Oz: Again, it tells me to use Chrome

Depth of Field: It worked but ran really slow

Tron: Loaded up but it froze up on me

FINAL #3: Group 3D Building Project

Here is an overhead view of our collaborative Cloud Party build. We went for a modern looking home with paved walk ways and a two car garage. The build also included a swimming pool, kids play area, and decorations inside and out. We split up jobs up between the class and it was posted in our learning ladder. Andrew and I were responsible for the indoor/outdoor decor. I placed various items inside the home such as paintings, a bed, metal balls in our dance floor, chairs for our pool area, and a garage work bench which you will see in the progress shots. This project was fun and at the same time we learned valuable skills while dealing with various logistical issues. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics.

Class #11: WebGL Chrome Experiments using Google's Chrome Browser

Example 1: Are You Being Watched?

This was probably not the most interactive but I thought that the eyes were rendered really nicely and thought it was cool that it followed your mouse movements. The eyeballs also multiplied when the screen was clicked.

Example 2: Spherical Normal Mapping

In this example you can play around with different random shapes and apply different textures on them which were really high quality in my opinion. The highlight of it is the excellent lighting/shading that the textures produce.

and a blog shape...

here's a closeup of the blog shape, I though it looked great on the web browser

Example 3: Just a Reflektor

This was a cool interactive experience and my favorite WebGL Chrome experiment. It's Arcade Fire's interactive music video in which a user can control different aspects of the visuals such as lighting and cool effects on the actors movements.

Here moved my mouse to create this cool effect while she danced...

the user can control this effect with the power of the mouse. It looks really cool and trippy as you listen to the music.
