3D Components for Virtual Environments

For this Phase II SBIR project, we will create a full prototype of a SCORM-conformant Authoring Tool Suite that implements the Framework demonstrated as part of Phase I. This Authoring Tool Suite will integrate the Component Aggregation, Animation , andScripting elements into a unified, cohesive Graphical User Interface. We will create a SCORM-conformant course that shows reuse of 3D components and learning objects from other applications and courses. To promote reuse by the ADL, Web3D, and Modelingand Simulation communities, and to solicit evaluation of our 3D component framework, we will provide our component specifications, conversion tools, and X3D Simulation Engine for free download throughout the duration of this contract.
