Abbey, Kenyon, and I, Aidan, explored 3D modeling of buildings that are no longer standing on the Carleton Campus, or have been renovated in a major way. We decided to focus on the old Sayles Gymnasium, as well as the recently demolished Mudd Science hall.

Nice job in the project! Great job modeling the interior of sayles and exterior of mudd. One thing that was a little confusing was that the embedded city engine is very far away from mudd. Everything else was great.
Lost to Progress Team,
Your final outputs are impressively detailed 3D reconstructions of the exterior of Mudd and the interior of Sayles gym, presented in a nice clean responsive website. The biggest issue with the project as it currently stands, however, is that very little of the information you presented in your presentation (on the point of the project, the sources and methods used, or the results of your work) is on the website. As stated in the assignment, the final project website itself needs to:
Right now, the site just contains a brief introductory statement that launches into the 3D viewers with very little guidance and needs to be fleshed out with much more detail, especially on process, sources, and what you established was the purpose of the project: to compare which 3D modeling techniques and presentation tools are most appropriate for interior or exterior modeling.
On the viewers themselves, navigation could be made easier by
You put a lot of work into the modeling and the output looks good, but it needs the written evidence of your process and methodological findings (in the context of the 3D simulation literature) to be a proper DH project.
