Final Project¶
Interactive Map¶
Since our Global Study Program in Charlotte Latin is getting unnoticed by people, I decided to do something to help it advertise. I decided to make an interactive map to present the moments of Global Study. I decided to add buttons on the marks of the places where we have our sister schools or the common places where our global study program usually goes. When I click on the buttons, the embedded screen will display the video about wonderful moment during the trip in Global Study. Visitors can play with the map in our school, which helps them learn more about both our Global Study program and our Engineering program.
3D Sketch of my Final Project¶
I used Fusion 360 because I have had plenty of experience of this software. After I tried Blender, I felt Fusion 360 is my favorite for 3D design.
First, I created a 61cm x 36.5cm rectangle on the bottom face.
Then I extruded the rectangle by 5cm
Since my project is a map, I found a world map online and made it as my reference. I created a frame of my interactive map.
Next, I created an offset plane on the top of the rectangular prism and inserted my reference image using “Canvas” feature.
Then I created sketch on the top plane and use spline tool to sketch out the outlines of the continents.
It took me 2 hours to finsih sketching the outlines of the continents.
I extruded the outlines inside for 3cm.
Finally, I went the website of my school’s Global Study program, and then marked the countries where our Global Study Program includes.
Then I made spots for the buttons between the countries related to our Global Study Program and create a spot for the screen. I also added the names of the countries beside the buttons. I was think about cutting out the text and pour resin in. The second option is to raster the text using laser cutter.
Finally, I extruded the spots for screen and press buttons by 4cm.
I added Appearance feature to make the frame look more real.
I’m done with my 3D design of my Final Project!
