INTERACTIVE 3D is AMAZING and EXCITING AND IT is coming to phones.
JUST A SIMPLE TEST CUBE with an image
(Click the Image)
It opens in a new page
(press back arrow to come back).
The few examples on this page give a flavour of what can be done.
There is much much more that can be done. To begin with, ROTATING an OBJECT
Phone – slide finger on box
computer – hold left mouse button on box
More controls later.
AND NOW
3 flat surfaces with different videos

VIDEOS ON SURFACES
The cube that had the squirrel loaded quickly.
Videos have a lot of information (about 25 pictures every second), that’s big and it might take a while to load, and play, if you have a poor signal on your mobile phone).
The 3 flat rectangles have different videos on them, all playing at the same time (over the internet!).
When rotating them they will disappear when looking at the backs (the backs are not -rendered).
To go closer or further away
Phone (slide two fingers apart or closer together. More controls coming later).
Computer (roll mouse wheel
or hold right mouse button, slide mouse)
Hold ctrl and slide to move objects.
AND NOW
3 boxes 1 Image and 2 Videos
(Click image)
Two songs will play at the same time. Try and focus on one and sing along. (Try not to be distracted by the other).
Then, try to follow along with the other song.
As mentioned before, the videos may take a time to load and you might find, on a slow connection, that the words are not keeping up with the video! It all works well on wifi and connected computers.
Structure of this section
There are 4 pages in this section.
3D Web Site The aim is that you can walk around an area, maybe inside Westgate and see notice boards, video areas, music and video sermons instead of simply clicking flat links on flat pages. We live in a 3D world! Westgate may be completely redesigned and perhap many times bigger, with perhaps gardens etc.
3D Walks This page will consist of walks along winding paths through differing environments to experiment with different 3D objects.
3D Animals There are many varying creatures both small and huge and models can be changed in size very easily. It will be nice to build a 3D zoo of all animals mentioned in the Bible!
3D Ideas A development section to try out new ideas that may be of benefit.
SOME CONTROLS
On a computer you have some additional options for navigation and control, (I am looking to see what I can do for a phone!)
1. if the cube is badly rotated, press the R button to realign.
2. Hold down CTRL button then press left button on mouse to move the cube around the screen.
3. Hold down ALT button then press left button on mouse to zoom in and out.
