Demo:
To
see these vrml demos you will need the Cosmo plugin for Mac, PC,
SGI etc. If you have problems obtaining these plugins please contact
mikep@soc.plym.ac.uk.
These
vrml models are early manifestations of the spaces described in
the structure section of this site. You will need to configure
your browser with a vrml plugin. The places shown here are not
multiuser and have no functionality aboart from the ability to
navigate.
The
design section of this site gives some idea of the kind of multi-user
/ avatar / interactivity that will be encountered within the ÔrealÕ
places used by bthe course. The spaces available here are:
THE
PANOPTICON: A Dream Building: a Diagram of a Mechanism of
Learning, by Jeremy Bentham. This is an early model, the first
created for this project. Considerable changes have been made
to the look and feel of this place, however, this early construction
is worth looking at.
PRESENTATION
SPACE: a multi-user space for group tutorials, collaborative
learning and practical production sessions. This space is based
on da VinciÕs "The Adoration of the Magi".
ONE
TO ONE: a more intimate space for tutorials for participants
and staff. Modelled on the de Chirico paintings Enigma of a Day
and Nostalgia of the Infinite.
ARCHIVE:
TatlinÕs ÔMonument to the III InternationalÕ, an administrative
support system and student registry. Like the Library and the
Social spaces it runs right through the length of the Panopticon
structure.
