CONTENTS
• Problem Statement & Objective
• Advantages & Literature Review
• Our Project and Progress
• Future Plans
PROBLEM STATEMENT
• HCI campus is enormous and 2D maps are unable to provide adequate
visualisation of it.
• Grandeur
• Navigation
AIM
• To create a 3D MAP OF HCI
ADVANTAGES
• Useful 3D Model
• Interactive Directory
LITERATURE REVIEW
• “Advantages of wireframe 3D modeling over exclusively 2D methods include:
Flexibility, ability to change angles or animate images with quicker rendering of the changes;
Ease of rendering, automatic calculation and rendering photorealistic effects rather than
mentally visualizing or estimating;
Accurate photorealism, less chance of human error in misplacing, overdoing, or forgetting to
include a visual effect.”
-- MNVSS Kumar. , & G Sasi Bhushana Rao, (n.d.)
LITERATURE REVIEW
• “Animation captures attention, and the information which is presented as a
moving image is retained by the viewer for a longer time and with greater
accuracy. Concepts and ideas, which cannot easily be represented in words or
even through illustrations, can be easily created and viewed from different
angles.” -- Be Visible (n.d.)
LITERATURE REVIEW
• “In comparison to 2D maps, 3D mobile maps involve volumetric instead of flat
representation of space, realistic instead of symbolic representation of
objects, more variable views that are directional and bound to a first-person
perspective, more degrees of freedom in movement, and dynamically
changing object details.” -- Oulasvirta, A., Estlander, S., & Nurminen, A.
(2009)
LITERATURE REVIEW
•
“…it is believed that 3D displays stimulate more neurons: involving a larger portion
of the brain in the problem solving process. With 2D contour maps, for example, the
mind must first build a conceptual model of the relief before any analysis can be
made. Considering the cartographic complexity of some terrain, this can be a
arduous task for even the most dextrous mind. 3D display, however, simulates spatial
reality, thus allowing the viewer to more quickly recognize and understand changes
in elevation.” -- Swanson, J. (n.d.)
ADVANTAGES – 3D MODEL
• Printed models used for:
• Campus planning
• Exhibition showpiece
• Souvenirs
ADVANTAGES – INTERACTIVE DIRECTORY
• Ineffective/misleading signs…
• Existing maps are limited in detail & interaction
• Virtual tours possible
PROJECT MASTER PLAN
• Virtual 3D Models of all buildings
• Virtual 3D Models of interior of all buildings
• Virtual topographic map
• Interactive Engine
• Uploading online

OUR PROJECT PLAN
• Virtual and printed 3D Models of:
• Kuo Chuan Building (+ inside)
• Kong Chian Administrative Building
PROGRESS
• Attended 3D modelling course to learn Sketchup software
• Model of Kong Chian Administration Center is completed, model of Kuo Chuan
building in progress
PROCESS
• Physical measurement of buildings
PROCESS
• Measuring and scaling official blueprint
1:1980
PROCESS
• Model!
PROCESS
• Print and trim
FOR THE FINALS
• Will continue to improve model of Kong Chian Admin Centre
• Finish model of Kuo Chuan Building
MAKING A 3D MAP
MAKING A 3D MAP
- Carried on by juniors (with interest)
- This will advance the legacy left by our senior Lu Zhen with his Clock Tower
model
• “In .kml, you can import 3D models—such as
buildings, bridges, monuments, and statues—in the
COLLADA interchange file format. Models are
defined independently of Google Earth in their own
coordinate space, using applications such as
SketchUp, 3D Studio Max, Softimage XSI, or Maya.
When a 3D model is imported into Google Earth, it
is translated, rotated, and scaled to fit into the
Earth coordinate system.”
3D Exterior
Map
“UpNext claims that the way to go about making these
‘next-generation maps’ is by building genuine 3D
worlds using vector-based maps.
UpNext builds models of cities, for instance, the 40,000
buildings of New York’s borough of Manhattan. The
company’s compressor converts this mass of polygons
into an internet-ready cityscape, using a renderer to
display the 3D environment on-screen. ”
3D Interior Map
• Same idea as Exterior
Map
• Can consider
redirecting users to
another page to view
interior of building
