David Burden SL: Corro Mosely (http://www.daden.co.uk/).
Shailey and David will be talking about -
As a part of The Open University's OpenScience Laboratory, we are developing a 3D simulation of a Geology field trip based around Skiddaw in the Lake District, using the Unity software (http://unity3d.com/) and in collaboration with Daden (http://www.daden.co.uk/). During this session, we will give a demonstration of this 3D virtual geology field trip and discuss our rationale of developing a 3D simulation of a geology field trip. We will discuss the technological challenges of developing this application in Unity 3D. We will outline the opportunities that Unity 3D offers in developing 3D educational environments.
Moderator: Evelyn McElhinney SL: Kali Pizzaro
Hope to see you at 11:30amSLT / 2:30pmET / 7:30pmUK
