Description
Paul Dunbar was a prominent African-American author and poet from Dayton, Ohio. His works and legacy are widely appreciated until today. His Dunbar House is landmark point in Dayton area welcoming thousands of visitors every year. In this project, we develop a virtual Dunbar House with multiple navigation methods in order to bring this Dayton landmark to broader audience. In our framework we simulate the entire Dunbar house within a virtual environment. Certain virtual items such as Dunbar's works or properties can be interacted with to retrieve further information. Four different navigation modes of this application were created and evaluated. The user study reveals that users prefer the teleport mode since it is easy to use and more natural.
