World Wide Vindonissa
Senior Project: 2010-2011
Dain Cilke, Pierce Edwards, Jeremy Reed, Gabriel (Gabe) Tambos and Nathan Thompson
The University of Applied Science Northwestern Switzerland Institute of 4D
Technologies has utilized the architectural model of the Roman city of
Vindonissa as provided by the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern
Switzerland Institute of Archaeology of Canton Aargau to create an interactive
experience on their Virtual Environment platform. However, interacting with the
model is limited to those physically on campus.
The goal of this project was to take the model files generated by the Institute of Archaeology and incorporate them into a WebGL framework to make the model of
the Vindonissa site available to everyone via the internet. LivingVindonissa
allows visitors to navigate the site, both by "walking" and "flying". It also
presents various points of interest with corresponding descriptions, as well as
allowing users to create and replay paths through the site.
