Artefact 1 evaluation

For artifact 1, I chose to create a virtual 360 degree view of a 3d designed room. As for my PRP I had researched virtual reality and interactive media on 3D visualisation, and therefore did further research for softwares that provide these types of simulations. Using a software called 'Object2VR', that combines a sequence of flat images and generates a 360 panoramic view for the user to look around with. After creating the virtual view, Roma was pleased about how it worked and the fact that the simulation was interactive. However it didn't need other people to tell that it was lacking in depth, and therefore I need to develop it further in which Im hoping to do in my second artifact by creating a number of 3d scenes and linking them through buttons. Artifact 1 only allowed users to view the room along the x axis as if it were cylindrical, and therefore for my 2nd artifacts I intend to create a spherical panorama, in which Roma had told me could be achieved by using 3dMAx, and apply it into virtual tour softwares for a complete experience.
