Virtual museum

Inspiration

The inspiration for this project came from classic "3D" games such as Wolfenstein which used a technique called raycasting to turn a top-down environment into a 3D one. I also wanted to add a portal effect where you would "go back in time"

What it does

You walk through the rainbow portal and are teleported to a random period. There will then be pillars representing different countries and clicking on them will tell you historical information from that period of that country

How we built it

Using JavaScript within the browser

Challenges we ran into

One of the major challenges I ran into was trying to get the ray intersection correctly and attempting to add AI to the project

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Managing to add a decent prototype within 24 hours

What we learned

How to correctly implement a raycasting algorithm

What's next for Virtual Museum

Implementing AI and more periods, possibly images from chosen periods
