Example 1: Goo Video Sphere
 |
This is the video sphere. Users can zoom in and out and rotate all around the sphere. Each module that makes the sphere is a link to video media. This is a very unique, and in my opinion, innovative way to present data.

| This is a shot of one of the videos that links directly the modules that make up the sphere. |
Example 2: Saint Jean Cathedral of Lyon
This one was really interesting. This is a model of a real cathedral in France. The controls are weird but once you understand how to move around it's pretty cool. This example incorporates thematic music that really sets a deep tone for your visit. You can also reset the light source to really see how light plays throughout the architecture of the building. I can see this type of example being very valuable in a virtual world. Being able to bring a class to the Vatican without flying to Rome for example.

| This is a shot of the Cathedral first rendering on my machine. |
 |
| This is the cathedral fully rendered. On my PC at home it tooks about 45 seconds to full render. My graphics card at work couldn't handle it at all. |
 |
| I placed the light source at the far end of the hallway. |

Example 3: KineMan - Interactive 3D Skeleton
 |
| This example is an interactive 3D Skeleton. I can see value in this application for education and perhaps even art. |
 |
| Maniuplating individual joints to try and make a natural pose. |
 |
| Here I manipulated many joints and the overall angle to make a very uncomfortable looking pose. |
