1st July 2013

Today I spent most of the day researching. I found an interesting project on Clonmacnoise which is an immersive 3d model of the ancient town of Clonmacnoise. It not only uses touch inputs but the app can also be used on site using GPS input which is used to control the user’s position automatically. When using this functionality, the user does not touch the screen to move around in the environment, but as they walk about their position in the 3D world is constantly updated to reflect their position in the real world. The user can then see how the area that they are in looked 1000 years ago.


I would like to develop an accurate 3D model of spike island, that the user is free to interact with and explore the model. The user would land on the Island and be greeted by an animation which would bring them through the fort gate. They could then freely roam about the Island. There would then be 'hotspots' around the immediate location of the fort which would encourage further interaction, possibly through the use of other media elements such as audio and video.
