Geometry, appearance, and lighting are key components of any VRML model. Unfortunately, realistic lighting simulation is computationally intensive and cannot be done in real time. The objective of the project is to understand the potential and the limits of virtual environments for simulating light and color in architectural spaces. I of the project proposes an interactive control of luminous environment. The default view is the exterior view.
Dashboard is consisted of a number of buttons for various controls.
The default room dimensions are 6m by 6m with 2.8m height. The floor area can be altered to be as small as 3m by 3m and as large as 15m by 15m. The ceiling height can vary from 2.8m to 5m. The room adjustment is controlled by the button located at the far left corner of the dashboard. The adjustment of the walls are associated with an interactive text which informs the user about the distance that the wall is moved.
