Hollow Cathode Visualization

Motivation

-The project was created in intent to fullfill the Arizona State University Software Engineering capstone I (SER 401) and Capstone II (SER 402) requirements.

-The project familiarizes professional outside the field as well as the general public with hollow cathodes.

-The work reflects the team of four contributors and the demonstration of the hollow cathode effect.

Features

-This project features a three dimensional model of the Hollow Cathode and distributes a user interaction with such device.

Open Source Frameworks

-Blender: An open-source three dimensional computer graphics software toolset used for creaing three dimensional printable models and motion graphics.

-Sketchfab: An open-source three dimensional platform providing users to display three dimensional models based on WebGL and WebXR technologies.

Object Files

-Blender model objects can be found in the hvc3Game/build file folder. There are two javascript files and two object files that run the unity model.

-Sketchfab model object can be found in the sketchfabObject file folder. There are two object files that run the sketchfab model.

Languages

-HTML: Hypertext Markup Language is the standard markup language for documents designed, displayed and structured in a web browser.

-CSS: Cascade Style Sheets presents and describes the documents written in HTML and elements rendered on a screen.

-JS: Javascript is a text based programming language which allows you to make interactive web pages.

How to Use

-Any user will be able to access the content and model interaction provided the website URL.

-Any desktop or labtop with internet access shall be able to access and enable the three dimensional featured displayed.
