The application will display 3D models and educational content specific to NAU’s BIO201 unit information. Models will be rendered on the user interface and allow users to utilize user interface elements in order to adjust features of their model. Users will also be able to interact with the 3D model through zoom and rotate features. Educational content specific to the unit will accompany the model and provide important terminology.
Since this application is specific to NAU’s BIO 201 course, the application must include flexibility for adding units beyond the first one in the future. In order to facilitate multiple units, our application must have a menu. This menu will allow users to navigate through the application with ease. When the user first enters the application, a large main menu will appear, while a smaller side menu will be accessible at all times in the top corner of the application.
In order for the application to be effective, users must be able to access their models for future viewing. Therefore, the application will offer export functionality that will allow users to export their 3D model in a couple supported formats, facilitated by the user interface.
The web application must include a functional database that facilitates real-time changes in generating models per user adjustments. The administrator of the database is responsible for keeping the database updated and organized.
The web application must include a user guide with tutorial features to ensure a user-friendly experience for all users. In order to provide an effective user guide, the tutorial must be easy to navigate through, include headings and subheadings, provide instructions for essential features, offer assistance to users, and be accessible and compatible with a range of users.
