The creation of this "Virtual House"
was a completely new venture for us. We had no experience
with architectural measurements, Computer Assisted
Design Programs, Virtual Reality Movies, or digital
photography. We tried to plan ahead and acquired: a digital
camera, digital video camera, and an ultrasonic measuring
device.
Over a one week period in Iavorivka, we took
over 900 digital photographs and hundreds of digital measurements.
After we returned to the US, we acquired the CAD program Strata
and the VR program VR Worx. With Strata solid objects can
be made and then "covered" with digital photographs:
a cube was made, stretched, covered with a digital photograph
and became the mattress of a bed. The frame of the bed was
made with Strata and the combination was quite good:
Two Beds.
The walls of each room were made the same
way, the beds, tables and chairs were placed in the room and
the pictures were placed on the walls.
