Firefox WebGL



Interestingly Enough I had no fails with the apps I tried in Firefox.


ECO-Lapse - PASS, and cool


Indras Net: PASS 



 George and Jonathan III: Pass and Cool




 ArtPop: Pass and Boring



Starris: PASS and wicked fun but needs SOUND


Chrome WebGL Experiments

WEBGL CHROME "EXPERIMENTATION"

Have you ever... you know...  'experimented'


Xibalba:
WOW a BLAST from the past. Reminds me of good ole fashioned DOOM and PATHWAYS...  
Fun and furious.

Pleeeaasse, I the pwnage I wrought in Doom, you are no match for me.


For those who never played the original, the game was often just like this



I CALL SHOTGUN, .... literally!

Dang IT!



SWOOP:

Simple, fun, and actually quite challenging for the arcade perfectionist. Took a little while to get a hang of it but it was fun.


BONUS ROUND OH YEAH



My only final comment is:


LISSAJOUS CURVE:

Simple app for creating fun and weird shapes using tools/modifiers common is 3D apps like 3DS Max and Maya







SPACE RUN 3D:

FUN AND FRUSTRATING. The physics are such that you are constantly thrusting almost 90 degrees to the side just to keep on the track at high speed. Sometimes real world physics dont translate well into gaming.


START YOUR ENGINES!! 

zoooOOOOOOMMMM

AHHHHHHHHH!!!! 



So THAT"S how that really happened!


STARRIS:

FAIL. Looked good but the game didnt load just a black screen and me helplessly watching my health drop to 0.



That, that is just mean!! This game brought to you by Lindsey Lohan! Because it is horrible!!






The IED Education Grid

Here is the IED home page.


Please note IED in THIS case is a short for Immersive EDucation, and NOT an acronym for Improvised Explosive Device.

all the same they may want to use different set of colors because anyone with a military background is going to look at that and raise an eyebrow - just saying. 
From a design and Feng Shui standpoint as well as a color used in education due to it's natural tendency to help learning, Id go with green. 



Alas I digress, the website has all the information about the latest and greatest in the up and coming world of internet fusion and immersion.



And links to the iED website - again Id change the color top something less aggressive.


I think the whole concept of virtual online classrooms is going to explode HUGE once the tech has a chance to catch up to the conceptual design goals or requirements necessary for making such an endeavor easily feasible. Cheers!

Final Number 4 High Res Avatar

This is my attempt to make a high res avatar using Make Human. The software itself has promise to allow people to create photorealistic versions of themselves and export them  into online environments. Great idea and curious how the animation will work.




proportions about right, I wouldnt mind having more control over individual vertices.


The mesh.


Aaaaand rather dashing if I do say so myself.



Wait, did I leave the oven on?
