WebGL Chrome Experiments that FAIL IN FIREFOX

Out of the links and experiments that I have looked at thus far, including Jaime's and Steven's, none of them have failed in Firefox. Some of them have run slower, but I have not had any trouble opening them. As more experiments are loaded, I will continue to see if they are compatible with Firefox.

WebGL Chrome Experiment's using Google's Chrome Browser

This was one of my favorite experiments in Chrome experiments as the eye was so very lifelike, even more so than I was able to convey in my screenshots.

I like this experiment because it had many of the lighting and shading monocular depth cues that we looked at in class.

I chose this experiment because it had a lot of linear and atmospheric perspectives that we looked at during our monocular depth cue class.

Final #4: MakeHuman

This is a MakeHuman Avatar exploration exercise. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that 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

The Education Grid

Within the Education Grid, I explored some background and history regarding its relationships and connections with virtual worlds.

Final #2 (Six Monocular Depth Cues)

Lighting and Shading: I see shading underneath the left side house where the deck is blocking the sun. You can see the shadow underneath both sides of the home.

Size Difference: I see "smaller" trees as they get further in the distance. While they are not actually smaller, they appear smaller because they are further away.

Texture Density: I see texture density specifically in the wood floor. This is where you can actually see that the wood looks like real wood and not just straight slabs.

Occlusion: The tree here appears, in the image, to be blocking the home, but in reality, it is simply in front of the home.

Atmospheric Perspective: The rocket appears to stand out more than the message board in the back which tends to blend in and be less clear.

Linear Perspective: As the flags get further away, they appear to be smaller, when in reality they are the same size as the flags that are in the front of the image.

This is a monocular depth cue exercise. It is a final exercise from the Immersive Education course that 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
