Virtual Reality Tour of the Inside of a Computer


This project is primarily a graphics project with a requirements for an understanding of basic computer architecture (and maybe you could throw in a few mini-games if you wanted), the project is that you develop a system whereby when someone puts on VR goggles, they will be inside of a computer and will be able to navigate around the motherboard, jumping over resistors and dodging around capacitors. If they want they can dive into the integrated circuits and run along the silicon substrates like a massive maze-complex, or fly over to the hard disk and see the disk-head reader interacting with the magnetic fields that create the 1s and 0s. The sounds of the environment is also very important for this project, if you were shrunk to miniature size the various sounds from different parts of the computer can be harmonic and remarkable. Also once you get near the fan, it may blow you around a bit so be aware of that. Finally you may have a narration explaining each part of the computer as you are travelling around them.
