This project is designed to enable the computer science department of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg to display its 50 years computer science department exhibition online.
The software to be developed shall be able to:
● View arbitrary rooms based on a 3D model
● Allow users to walk through these rooms
Functional properties of the software shall be:
● The panorama shall be scalable (within a window)
● Users should be able to
○ Rotate the panorama
○ Walk through a room (switches panoramas)
○ Switch between rooms
○ Switch between floors (levels)
● A room layout including the user’s location shall be available
Non-functional properties of the software shall be:
● Runs in most common browsers (hence Javascript/Typescript)
● Speedy non-frustrating interaction possible
● Can be integrated into other web applications
The computer science department would like to use this viewer to display its 50 years of computer science department exhibition on the web.
