Project to date - Interactive Solar System

So much more to do!!!

I'm pretty much done with the research as far as the information about each of the planets.

Here's the main interface of my project:
Solar System Orbit

Each planet will be a button; when clicked, it goes to the page of the planet, the user will be able to click and rotate the planet to get a closer look.

Something like this: View planet

Next step:
- Pictures of each of the planets.
- Execute!
- Add sounds.

California Academy of Sciences

What a beautiful day it was! Jeremy, Neil, and I were so excited we planned to get there early. We even went and had breakfast to prepare ourselves for this exciting trip. Being my first time, I didn't really know what to expect...

As soon as we get there all we saw was the long line wrapped around the block, fortunately we ran into Lauren who had been there since 8:30AM. If we hadn't seen her we probably would have been stuck and waited for loooong time in the back of the line. Thank you Lauren!!! While waiting in line we saw Nick and decided to join us.

This museum really brings the whole universe under one roof - an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum and more!

The 3D bug show was fun to watch. They added drama and humor throughout the show to keep the audience entertained rather than just following bugs around with the camera.

The planetarium was another interesting show. I loved how it started showing the museum and zooms out to space, the solar system, the galaxy...

Interactive Solar System

Goal for this project:
Entertain the visitor. Construct innovative navigation, novel and inspired transitions, entertaining, and interesting content.

I am going to challenge myself by trying something new to me: Papervision, Away3D, XML data... I also hope to increase my knowledge and experience with AS3 throughout this project.
