CONTENTS

• Problem Statement & Objective

• Advantages & Literature Review

• Our Project and Progress

• Future Plans

PROBLEM STATEMENT

• HCI campus is enormous and 2D maps are unable to provide adequate visualisation of it.

• Grandeur

• Navigation

AIM

• To create a 3D MAP OF HCI

ADVANTAGES

• Useful 3D Model

• Interactive Directory

LITERATURE REVIEW

• “Advantages of wireframe 3D modeling over exclusively 2D methods include:

Flexibility, ability to change angles or animate images with quicker rendering of the changes;

Ease of rendering, automatic calculation and rendering photorealistic effects rather than mentally visualizing or estimating;

Accurate photorealism, less chance of human error in misplacing, overdoing, or forgetting to include a visual effect.”

-- MNVSS Kumar. , & G Sasi Bhushana Rao, (n.d.)

LITERATURE REVIEW

• “Animation captures attention, and the information which is presented as a moving image is retained by the viewer for a longer time and with greater accuracy. Concepts and ideas, which cannot easily be represented in words or even through illustrations, can be easily created and viewed from different angles.” -- Be Visible (n.d.)

LITERATURE REVIEW

• “In comparison to 2D maps, 3D mobile maps involve volumetric instead of flat representation of space, realistic instead of symbolic representation of objects, more variable views that are directional and bound to a first-person perspective, more degrees of freedom in movement, and dynamically changing object details.” -- Oulasvirta, A., Estlander, S., & Nurminen, A. (2009)

LITERATURE REVIEW

• “…it is believed that 3D displays stimulate more neurons: involving a larger portion of the brain in the problem solving process. With 2D contour maps, for example, the mind must first build a conceptual model of the relief before any analysis can be made. Considering the cartographic complexity of some terrain, this can be a arduous task for even the most dextrous mind. 3D display, however, simulates spatial reality, thus allowing the viewer to more quickly recognize and understand changes in elevation.” -- Swanson, J. (n.d.)

ADVANTAGES – 3D MODEL

• Printed models used for:

• Campus planning

• Exhibition showpiece

• Souvenirs

ADVANTAGES – INTERACTIVE DIRECTORY

• Ineffective/misleading signs…

• Existing maps are limited in detail & interaction

• Virtual tours possible

PROJECT MASTER PLAN

• Virtual 3D Models of all buildings

• Virtual 3D Models of interior of all buildings

• Virtual topographic map

• Interactive Engine

• Uploading online

YEARS

OUR PROJECT PLAN

• Virtual and printed 3D Models of:

• Kuo Chuan Building (+ inside)

• Kong Chian Administrative Building

PROGRESS

• Attended 3D modelling course to learn Sketchup software

• Model of Kong Chian Administration Center is completed, model of Kuo Chuan building in progress

PROCESS

• Physical measurement of buildings

PROCESS

• Measuring and scaling official blueprint

1:1980

PROCESS

• Model!

PROCESS

• Print and trim

FOR THE FINALS

• Will continue to improve model of Kong Chian Admin Centre

• Finish model of Kuo Chuan Building

MAKING A 3D MAP

MAKING A 3D MAP

- Carried on by juniors (with interest)

- This will advance the legacy left by our senior Lu Zhen with his Clock Tower model

• “In .kml, you can import 3D models—such as buildings, bridges, monuments, and statues—in the COLLADA interchange file format. Models are defined independently of Google Earth in their own coordinate space, using applications such as SketchUp, 3D Studio Max, Softimage XSI, or Maya. When a 3D model is imported into Google Earth, it is translated, rotated, and scaled to fit into the Earth coordinate system.”

3D Exterior Map

“UpNext claims that the way to go about making these ‘next-generation maps’ is by building genuine 3D worlds using vector-based maps.

UpNext builds models of cities, for instance, the 40,000 buildings of New York’s borough of Manhattan. The company’s compressor converts this mass of polygons into an internet-ready cityscape, using a renderer to display the 3D environment on-screen. ”

• Same idea as Exterior Map

• Can consider redirecting users to another page to view interior of building
