Virtual Exhibition Hall of Student Work in Tibetan Buddhist Culture Course
This undergraduate course involved as its final assignment creation of Web sites using images, text, and audio, and posted within a three dimensional Web-based Exhibition Hall. Using a technology called VRML, the Exhibition Hall allows users to use their mouses to actually walk through a three dimensional building consisting of a series of gallery rooms. The class was divided into a series of "teams", each of which was assigned a single gallery room with four wall spaces for hanging images on one side of the room, and two larger wall spaces for hanging images on the other side. The four smaller spaces are used to hang pictures which when clicked, lead the user into different parts of their assignment consisting of hyperlinked pages of texts and images. One of the two larger spaces is not used, while the other provides an image which, when clicked, activates a "movie" consisting of a slide show of captioned images with music playing in the background. Because these movies can be slow to play within the Hall, we have also made them indivdiually accessible on our "Student Movies" page.
Click the links below for the final student presentations in the Exhibition Hall. In order to view the Exbhition Hall, you will need to install a VRML plugin to your browser (click here for a link to download the plugin). Once you have entered the hall, you will find yourself at one end of the exhibition hall. Use your mouse or trackpad to turn around and then "walk" down the hall. When you see a picture on the wall, you can click on it and it will take you to the underlying Web sites. On the lower left you will also see a list of rooms - click on it, and you will see a list of the full rooms available in this gallery. By choosing one, you will directly go to the room in question, thus making for easy navigation.
