Group 20 Capstone 2017 Project
Griffin Gonsalves, Shawn Cross, Paul Kwak
Synopsis
The Forge VR Explorer is a web-based application capable of viewing 3D models in VR. At its core, the project makes use of Forge, a web-based API collection for working with and viewing 3D models, and leverages work previously published on Kean Walmsley's blog. It has a Node.js back-end, with Socket.io handling the communication between presenter and participants.
Installation/Usage
The project is hosted on Heroku with instructions on the page. If you have a Google Cardboard headset and a fairly modern Android device, you may choose to view the selected model in stereoscopic. User models can be uploaded through the interface at the bottom of the page or through the panel/UI on the left side of the app.
Documentation
All documentation for the project is contained within the "Project Documents" directory in this repo. Supplementary documentation provided by Autodesk.
