Week 2

We've finally managed to have a combine group meeting with Matt Simpon.

During that meeting several options were considered, having the QTVR in a flash container, doing it with 3D, or even skipping the whole process of QTVR and doing something something as wild as hacking the google earth API.
All in all we discovered that the projects was rather opened, and we just have to come up with something, has a virtual tour of building 1 and/or 2. Since there are 2 groups doing it, we will be working on the same project, but just doing different scopes to it.
However Matt, is encouraging us to try new technology and differents methods to go about doing it.

After that meeting, we had another group meeting, or rather brainsotrming session. Well, we decided to "give-up" on the hacking google earth idea as we might not have enough experience with C++ or Java programming to actually go in and change the coding of an API, and seriously persoanlly I might be good at programming, but I hate changing somebody else's code, as most of the time to can hardly know what that person has coded.
We were more towards exploring how we can go about doing it the conventional way of taking photos, how we can create something that can be built upoon, what features can be added, why such this project is needed on a Uni level, which camers angles would be good to ues, which container flash/director/3D would be better, basically just the "who, when, what, why, how" of the project. Looks like the design process is fianlly underway.

Whats left for us to do in the up-coming week would be to actually research on the ideas thought of during that meeting, coming up with ideas, look for resource, finding the "raw materials" of this project(Sounds like a system development life cycle). Than one monday we'll get together again present our research and from there we'll have zeroed in on what we really want to get about doing.
