Library
All materials are provided via online links and Study Direct. Learning materials may change from year to year as the topic evolves with changes in Web 3D technologies.
Module Outline
Through laboratory-based tuition utilising Study Direct based online teaching and learning materials including laboratory notes, video and text tutorial, and self directed e-learning, this module will explore how 3D can be integrated into mobile web based applications. Web 3D technologies such as: 3D modelling methods and tools, navigation and interaction, Web 3D programming, etc. will be explored. The main focus of this module is to gain practical experience on simple 3D modelling and programming (e.g. 3ds Max, pseudo 3D methods, X3D/VRML, HTML5, CSS3, XML, JavaScript, JSON, PHP, SQLite, etc.) to build a Web 3D Application as a single page application (SPA). You will also exploit an MVC design pattern to build a mobile first 3D App, i.e. 3D integrated into a single page application (SPA) — a 3D App. Example 3D Apps may include: a virtual museum, car simulation, 3D product visualisation, burglary simulation, simple web game, ... the list is not exhaustive.
Pre-Requisit:
3D Modelling & Rendering (G6029). However, sufficient 3D modelling is covered in this module for those not having taken G6029.
Some simple programming experience, e.g. in Java.
Pre-Requisite
Modelling and Rendering Module G6029 (or have the ability to pick up 3D modelling quickly) and some basic programming experience, e.g. in Java.
Module learning outcomes
Systematically understand the key characteristics of Web 3D technologies (e.g. 3D, web development and programming technologies) associated with developing a Web3D Application.
Create from a given set of Web 3D technologies a viable interactive Web3D Application online that includes the use of 3D and other multimedia content.

Please note that the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the 5XÉçÇøÊÓƵ withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
