VirtualBU is a project being undertaken for the Binghamton University Addmissions Office by a group of volunteer students that are interested in the technologies being used. Currently the project is under the guidance of Prof. Richard Steflik of the Watson School Department of Computer Science with a volunteer workforce mainly from the Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science student body although any student that is interested in being a part of the VirtualBU development is welcome to participate.
The project requirements come from the desire of the Addmissions office desire to be able to offer prospective new students a virtual reality type of tour of the campus before the students actually go to the expense of physically visiting the campus. The campus is to be modeled with a high degree of reality using currently available solid modeling tools and presented to the viewer in a highly interactive photo realistic 3D environment using the Project Wonderland Toolkit from the Open Source community and Sun Microsystems/Oracle.
