Technologies

Using a combination of React, Blender, Three.js, and Firebase, our goal is to create an interactive web application that allows BIO201 students to analyze a 3D model and change features of that model to engage with more diverse anatomical models. After a thorough analysis of our technologies, we can move to the next steps of development. Upon client review and unforeseen limitations with technology, our chosen approaches and technologies will be subject to change

React Logo

React

React excels in responsive design due to its virtual DOM, component architecture, and interactivity tools.Therefore, HTML/CSS and JavaScript combined with the React framework is the most promising solution to a responsive, interactive user interface for a BIO201 specific diversified web application.

Three.js

Three.js has excellent performance in regard to rendering 3D models and interactivity. Its large community and wealth of resources make it the most beginner friendly library. due to its Ease of Use and more than enough functionality, Three.js is the most promising solution to manage our realistic and functional 3D anatomical models

Blender

Blender has excellent support for modeling features and rendering realistic models. The software also supports the ability to be able to import and export models with a certain extension. Therefore, utilizing Blender Software would be our best choice to create these three-dimensional models based on the Biology 201 course material.

Firebase

Firebase Realtime is a non-relational DBMS. The combination of serverless management, cloud-based storage, and real time synchronization have the most potential for being useful for the current application requirements and for possible new modeling requirements for future implementations.
