The purpose of this assignment was to acquaint ourselves with the VE technology available in our lab, and to explore or show off some feature of VEs. I created an environment with escalators.

In this assignment we were to familiarize ourselves with creating models in 3D Studio Max. I created a moving platform floating high above the ocean, including transparency effects and, of course, escalators.

In this assignment we explored user interaction in VEs. I created a pen-and-tablet style widget interface that had a physical cardboard tablet mounted on the non-dominant forearm.

For my final project, I explored incorporating passive haptics into an environment that employs redirected walking. In particular, I made a single physical cylinder represent multiple virtual cylinders by using a distracting task. See my final presentation slides or the short paper presented at ICAT 2005.
