For my final project in CED 552, I created an ancient Greek virtual amphitheater. I surrounded my amphitheater with ocean views and created my seating from scratch. I added banners, columns, statuary, and burning torches. I linked it all together to create a holodeck so I can use this space not only for my demonstration but also as a class/meeting room or a play to produce virtual Greek plays.
The Project:
I added different elements to the amphitheater to formulate a classroom activity. I created a Pikkubot named Themistocles73 to introduce the project. The Oracle of Delphi gives the visitors their task to complete where they will have to interact with three separate Pandorabot NPCs to find answers to problems. They also have the opportunity to receive a free toga and wreath of laurels.
The Purpose:
I created this space as an immersive environment for middle school world history students. The students can gain important and interesting facts about Athens and gain a better understanding about what life was like over 2000 years ago.
Reflection:
I had a great time with this project. It presented a great many challenges but I was able to complete the assignment with time to spare. I look forward to CED553 this summer!
