Final Project: Step 9
Adding 10 New Content Elements to my Immersive Library

My virtual library has a total of 8 videos and 10 PDFs
My entire catalogue, however consists of 12 PDFs and 10 videos, all accessible via my blogs.
I created blog pages that contained all of my Research Papers and videos as an alternative for loading issues.
(Some of the videos in my world are different than what I had collected. Most of mine were too long and therefor too large to be loaded. So I had to search for a couple new ones.)

3dvrpdf.blogspot.com

After reading my classmates review of my world, I realized that the youtube pages embedded in world start automatically and that is what he was hearing. So I deleted those, and created a blog with more videos as an alternative.
Here is a Web browser with my Blog which has more videos. The link is http://myvids3dvr.blogspot.com/ I did the same thing for PDFs and added a Library Catalogue page at 3dvrpdf.blogspot.com. If my PDFs fail to load in the virtual library, they are still accessible via this link.


Added a PDF on a Giant Block

Once I added a few more, they all displayed a fail to load message. I figured this was due to their close proximity and "view frustrum culling". So I spread them all out.

Here they are all spread out. However, sometimes they fail to display, sometimes they don't. Theres a couple that always display, and a few that have never.

Adding another PDF as one of my 10 new elements

Adding another video as one of my new elements

Added a couple videos on blocks


Changed my Avatar to a Green Roboto! Also added a walkway in my PDF section.

I rearranged my video section and added a staircase at the entrance that leads into it. As you can see my Blog is accessible right at the entrance.

View from above! I still need to spread everything out even more.

A little more spread out. View from even higher and farther back.
