Virtual Reality class project
About
A goal of the project is to create a virtual world - 3D web game for kids in a virtual mart environment as a Virtual Reality - NPGR012 class project.
Main game features are called nuts. A nut is an interactive object which kid (or any other operator) should play with to achieve game points.

Technical background
We use Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) to design the web game. You have to get a VRML plugin to run it.
We are planning to create X3D version of the game with a support of haptic technology using H3D API (see Haptic API survey).

Nuts
- Jack in the box (Martin) - box with a handle, the handle is clickable, makes sounds. The goal is to turn the handle around few times to get PING sound and then click the box to get the Jack out of it!
- Rack with toys (Martin) - all but one are the same kind. The goal is to reveal the one that doesn't belong there and grab it.
- Empties (Petr) - the goal is to grab proper empties to reverse vending machines of two types - glass and PET empties.
- Ball game (Petr) - grab the right ball and throw it to the basket
