3. Be a showcase piece

• Possibly more

This is the kind of a project that is never finished. Especially with only two people working on it. We've pushed it a little further which means we decided to do a lot for this project and we've managed to achieve almost all of our goals. The base of the project was done by a different team which with nearly not existing documentation made this project really hard to maintain.

• Provide students (and faculty) in the Delta building with relevant information

At the moment project shows some information on the left side of the screen: current schedule, time, weather and amount of people in the building.

• Simulate the goings on in the Delta building

Representations of people in the building have some pre-settled behaviors (they go in and out of the building on prepared paths, in and out of classes, they sit on chairs). They are not really mimicking actual behaviors of students in the building, there is still place for improvement in that field (probably with some external detectors).

• Be a showcase piece

Current state of the project presents the whole building in a way that is impressive (according to opinions of random people whom the project was shown to). Most of the graphical glitches and visual inaccuracies (comparing to the existing building) were corrected during the development process. The project shows basics of architectural and functional features of the building in an accessible way.
