roll call 11

fairycastle

This is me exploring Fairy Castle Land in Second Life. It is work going on in the Immersive Education Initiative's K-12 Technology Working Group. To find out more, go to: http://mediagrid.org/news/2011-02_K12.html













final #4- monocular depth cues

atmospheric perspective- two rockets have different shading, towers are not as visible










lighting/shading- one side of the wall is darker than the other, gets lighter as it's farther away










linear perspective- these posts in a straight line look smaller than the one in front of it










occlusion- the large rock is blocking view of the gray stone










texture density- the bricks in front of me look realistic, that feeling goes away as you move farther and farther away










size differences- the robot in front of me looks much larger than the one right behind it, but they are both the same size
