3) Create your own snapshot in Wonderland

Bringing in a picture and my 3D tent dome object into Wonderland.




Moved the tent dome under my photo by right clicking the object, choosing properties, and dragging the tent dome under my picture.  Thus, my photo is now my container.



4) Search the Google 3D Warehouse for the BEST QUALITY HUMAN BRAIN YOU CAN FIND. Don’t rush: look for the highest visual quality 3D human brain on the warehouse.

  My favorite human brain!
Searched via both "brain" and "human brain" and received the below human brain.  It is in 3D and has great detail in both black and white with gray shadings, and a red bottom.



5) Reviewing the first 4 sections of the Immersive Education Initiative Charter with special focus on the terms “open” and section “IV. OPEN AND ROYALTY-FREE”. [10 minutes]

1. Overview and Mission
2. Membership
3. Intellectual Property
4. Open and Royalty Free



Final project work in Open Wonderland Low Capacity - moved two of my objects into Wonderland.
Here is the Low Capacity Wonderland URL we are utilizing.




The Human Brain for the Center of our Final Project.  As Aaron asked during class after looking at all the brains, I downloaded the 3D brain, moving into SketchUp, increased the size, exported into COLLADA format, and dragged and dropped into Wonderland, just in front of the starting point.  When someone goes into this Wonderland, they will find the brain as the center and starting point.  This is the center for our final project.

The link for the human brain:

Homework for Class 10


Downloading Snapshot Video to my PC

Watching video


Snapshot a way of exporting content and bringing back into Wonderland.
Right click your object
Export=>Save your object
(it will be saved as filename.wlexport (file type)
Can now move and drop into any Wonderland world.

After moving item into world, can right click, edit and rename item.

Also, can right click into properties, and have items in another items' folder.  Like the toy basket his the main folder and some other items are inside the toy box.  You can see this on the screen.

Generally, this is a great way to share content - utilizing the export function.

Snapshot - don't need admin privileges and no server restarts.  So, saving to hard drive works very well.














MMORPG is an abbreviation for Massively Multiplayer On-line Role Playing which is when a large number of players are participating in role-playing games in a virtual environment. World of Warcraft is an example of a very popular MMORPG. Below is the wiki article further detailing from  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massively_multiplayer_online_role-playing_game

 Below is the confirmation of my Tent Dome being 3D


I have added a new object to replace my musicians for Virtual Helping Hands as they were only 2D.  I have chosen some flowers, and they are version 6.  Below is my flower object in SketchUp, as well as the export options which are the defaults.  The flowers are located at the following: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=e96e0f3375e5f601bd54aff0ec2d4573&ct=hppm

Class 9

Running the ladder

Game Board


Visiting Wonderland at: http://208.123.137.42:8080/wonderland-web-front/ and text chatting with classmates...




Creating poster in Wonderland and editing it






 Adding some html and links:




Added link to my Blog on my poster

Used the html from the lecture notes and added my blog link


Adding my image to the poster and link on the bottom right - had to use the picture that Aaron sent because my digital image was causing issues in Wonderland because it was too large



Also, the digital, smaller cropped picture did not work.  It crashed my session, so I removed it as well.  However, was able to successfully put the pictures and link into the poster, no problem as shown in the screen shot above.

Roll Call2, For this Class 9
