Implementation Plan

Downtown Indiana Timeline

Week One- Meet with Jeff Tobin, and discuss perspective ideas for project, and deadlines.

Week Two-Begin web page design, present ideas to LS499 class and receive feedback. Take pictures with digital camera of the actual Downtown district. Present ideas a second time, and show progress made.

Week Three-Start to move digital images onto the web page, and begin to build some VRML images. We plan to first build a street and then follow up with some detailed buildings along the road.

Week Four-Continue working on VRML images and begin to make more detailed buildings along the road, such as the Henry Hall building, and the Court House.

Week Five-Complete VRML design and prepare for final presentation to class.

Notes: Depending on the time we have the VRML design should include a detailed image of Philly street from 4th to 9th. The amount of buildings that will be detailed depends on the amount of time allowed for this project. There is also a chance of us including some sounds, but again it all depends on time spent developing the actual VRML image.

We are also in the process of downloading pictures we took of the buildings located in the downtown area. Once completed those will be added into the scrapbook.
