Note to prospective students: this content is drawn from our database of current courses and modules. The detail does vary from year to year as our courses are constantly under review and continuously improving, but this information should give you a real flavour of what it is like to study at Sussex.
We’re currently reviewing teaching and assessment of our modules in light of the COVID-19 situation. We’ll publish the latest information as soon as possible.
Web 3D Applications
Module H7006
Module details for 2024/25.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 6
Pre-Requisite
Modelling and Rendering Module G6029 (or have the ability to pick up 3D modelling quickly) and some basic programming experience, e.g. in Java.
Module Outline
Through laboratory-based tuition utilising Study Direct based online teaching and learning materials including laboratory notes, video and text tutorial, and self directed e-learning, this module will explore how 3D can be integrated into mobile web based applications. Web 3D technologies such as: 3D modelling methods and tools, navigation and interaction, Web 3D programming, etc. will be explored. The main focus of this module is to gain practical experience on simple 3D modelling and programming (e.g. 3ds Max, pseudo 3D methods, X3D/VRML, HTML5, CSS3, XML, JavaScript, JSON, PHP, SQLite, etc.) to build a Web 3D Application as a single page application (SPA). You will also exploit an MVC design pattern to build a mobile first 3D App, i.e. 3D integrated into a single page application (SPA) — a 3D App. Example 3D Apps may include: a virtual museum, car simulation, 3D product visualisation, burglary simulation, simple web game, ... the list is not exhaustive.
Pre-Requisit:
3D Modelling & Rendering (G6029). However, sufficient 3D modelling is covered in this module for those not having taken G6029.
Some simple programming experience, e.g. in Java.
Library
All materials are provided via online links and Study Direct. Learning materials may change from year to year as the topic evolves with changes in Web 3D technologies.
Module learning outcomes
Systematically understand the key characteristics of Web 3D technologies (e.g. 3D, web development and programming technologies) associated with developing a Web3D Application.
Create from a given set of Web 3D technologies a viable interactive Web3D Application online that includes the use of 3D and other multimedia content.
