What
not to do:
- Do not give a
technical progress report (you should have already done this).
- Do not discuss
software, hardware, or schedule limitations of the quarter.
- Do not talk about
what you did not do, or wished you could have done.
After you have presented, the instructor may elect to ask questions
relative to the above.
What to do:
- Talk about what
you now consider to be benefits and implications of using virtual environments
in your own work as a researcher, designer and artist. (This means how
and when it can be useful, not how hard it is to do.)
- Introduce the work
you have done in that context.
- Use the process
log you have been keeping to illustrate the design process and pivotal
steps along the way.
- Demonstrate the
project using the best means possible to present its functionality and
intent. (Show positive, not negative. You may pretend the audience is
made up of your clients or your thesis committee, don't lose them with
excuses.)
- Talk about research
or projects you are interested in doing in the next year or two that
is related to your own personal research, design or art work, that would
involve virtual environments.
For final submission:
Copy the following files into a folder using your name in the class directory
folder, or burn the files to a CDROM for submission:
- The final virtools
composition file.
- Any necessary supporting
files for running the scene.
- The process log.
Print on paper, or
MS Word document attachment to instructor's email:
- A one to two page
written document discussing the first "what to do" point above
and a self-evaluation of your progress during the quarter, including
a self assessment of the letter grade you believe best represents the
work achieved.
