One of the projects I’m working on currently is for Wright State University. They do an annual exhibit called the Tunnel of Oppression. It is a multi-room exhibit, each room focuses on a theme, like racism, sexism, ableism, etc. The idea is to raise awareness of the many forms of oppression in society and also to show how each of us individually is part of the problem.
What we are working on is to put a version of the tunnel online, so it can be used throughout the year in student classes and by the public. We have developed an online 3D interactive environment that you can walk around in like a video game, and there will be video clips, audio clips and lots of images and text as well. Here is a working demo that should run in your web browser if you have java installed.
We are using a 3D game engine called JMonkeyEngine to develop the system. It is an impressive piece of software and is open source java. It is not very well documented but there are alot of people using it and participating in the forums, so I’ve been able to figure it out so far.
