Building Virtual Worlds Projects
Building Virtual Worlds (BVW) is a project course, where interdisciplinary teams build desktop and immersive (helmet-based) interactive virtual worlds. The goal of the course is to take students with varying talents, backgrounds, and perspectives and put them together to do what they couldn't do alone. The key thing is that there are no "idea people" in the course; everyone must share in the mechanical creation of the worlds. Note that we don't try to teach artists to program, or engineers to paint; we form teams where everyone does what they're already skilled at to attack a joint project. Visit this year's home page.
View Student Worlds
Student work from the class is available in two formats -- Quicktime streaming video for on-line viewing and hi-res Mpeg video for downloading. For some of the worlds there is a special high-quality Mpeg-2 download, which may take several minutes. Your computer might need Mpeg-2 decoder software to view these files. If you're using Windows, download and install this freeware Mpeg-2 codec. Macintosh users should upgrade to Quicktime 5.
