3D Viewer Integration

This project is to load 3D Models in PLY format from the CDLI database into the existing 3D Model Web Viewer using the Three.js library and to integrate it into the CDLI framework.

To Enhance the 3D Viewer user experience by adding responsiveness, physical torque and friction, and other effects while interacting with the 3D Model in the 3D Viewer.

Implementing an RTI Viewer so that any CDLI tablet for which the PLY model is available has an easy-to-navigate option for the 3D viewer for that model in 3D viewer.

Tentative timeline

–> Completed Tasks –> Ongoing Tasks –> Work Demonstration

Week	Objectives	Deliverables
1	Make basic 3D Viewer	Convert 3D Viewer files to CakePHP. Make URL controller for 3D Viewer in the framework. 3D Viewer should be up on framework with error in loading 3D models.
2	Basic 3D Viewer up	Setting up the routes for the 3D Viewer page in the framework. Setting up parameterized routes to take ObjectID from URL and render model accordingly. 3D Viewer should be able to load 3D models from assets in the webroot.
3	Responsiveness	Make 3D viewer responsive to all devices. 3D viewer should be able to change its size according to viewport.
4	Render 3D Model from database.	Set up routes to get 3D Model (.PLY) from data from the CDLI database. Load 3D Model(.PLY) in the 3D viewer and render it from the database. 3D Viewer should be able to load 3D models from cdli database.
5	Testing and Debugging	Check all the functionality added is working good and if any bug is present debug it.
6	UX Optimisation	Suggest and implement different features for 3D Viewer to enhance User Experience(UX) while interacting with 3D Model(CDLI tablet).
7	UX Optimisation	Suggest and implement different features for 3D Viewer to enhance User Experience(UX) while interacting with 3D Model(CDLI tablet).
8	UX Optimisation	Suggest and implement different features for 3D Viewer to enhance User Experience(UX) while interacting with 3D Model(CDLI tablet).
9	Usability enhancing	Search different usability aspects and implemnt it.
10	Test and Debug	Check all the functionality added is working good and if any bug is present debug it and complete documentation and launch.
