Tweetable: An editor and viewer for immersive 3D environments for the purpose of storytelling.

For my project I am making a two part system for creating and viewing an immersive 3D environments composed of fully surrounding images (Skybox) and directional sounds. I have implemented the following features:

• Scene Drawing Helper
  • In browser use
  • Draw on panable and zoomable spherical scene view
  • Export to high resolution cube map / skybox format
  • A gui for defining drawing guides, importing models, and controlling the view

I have promised with these features the following list of features. However, due to time constraints I will not be implementing features with slashes through them.

• Environment Viewer
  • Web viewable
  • Clickable regions
  • Intuitive click and drag and pinch to zoom controls
  • Fading between scenes
  • Play directional sounds and background music
• Scene Drawing Helper
  • Import models for shape definitions (Instead only simple guides will be used)
  • Import cube map (to add more stuff or make notes on drawn parts)
  • Layers support (Instead only adding to images will be supported)
  • Click region definition
  • JSON output of click regions and any other metadata
  • Scene linking tools (This will be done using JSON)
  • Full comic file export (an archive of metadata and media that can be opened in the viewer)(This will be a folder with all the images and a JSON file explaining the click regions and scene links.)

I will try to follow the following schedule.

• Today I will
  • Click regions definition
  • Import cube map
• By 4/23 I will
  • JSON to describe regions and actions
  • Play sounds
  • Viewer mode with controls
• By 4/27
  • Polish everything.
  • Make an example.

This is the current look of my project. The background is a skybox provided with ThreeJS.
