BEFORE THE HACKATHON! Why not place faces from video conferencing on avatars in a 3d virtual classroom?
-
The video conference platform has already some tools for education.
-
Easy, no login needed, no cookies, 100% browser based, encryptrd peer to peer.
-
This is a traditional setting (even here Classes3D is nicer)
-
The video conference interaction. Avatars have real faces (must be improved).
-
An example of classroom wall decoration
-
Or good and bad eating habits for us and the planet!
-
Let's talk about animals and their ecosystem...
-
In fact, let's have a classroom where we can spatially interact and that adapts to what we are learning and doing.
Inspiration
I just developed a very easy to join and secure video conferencing system 100% browser based. Some years ago I built a 3D world using CSS3D which makes joining HTML elements like videos very easy and performant (much faster and easy than WebGL). Why not try to join the two in a 3D classroom video conference during this hackathon?
What it does
It will allow to change from a traditional video conference flat video images to a 3D setting that will be decorated as a classroom with the face of each student and teacher at their desks. The desks and faces in video streams can move in the 3D environment of the classroom.
How I built it
The video conferencing system is built in HTML5, the video streams are in WebRTC and the 3D classroom will be in CSS3D.
Challenges I ran into
Integration challenges and joining with design experts to really give the classroom a cosh feeling.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
That short challenges with a leit motif that bring people together are fun and productive.
What I learned
There is always a rigth time to old ideas!
What's next for Classes3D - a virtual classroom with video conference!
To integrate a chatbot system so that every student can have an assistant always available. Mainly, let’s see where the community wants to take it.
