An Examination Of Virtual Reality Modeling Language And Its Implications For The Future Of The World Wide Web, Mitch L. Hamelau
An Examination Of Virtual Reality Modeling Language And Its Implications For The Future Of The World Wide Web, Mitch L. Hamelau
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
This project examines the current and future capabilities of Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). VRML is first looked at in terms of its own current capabilities and limitations and then in terms of the impact that it will have on the World Wide Web. Some examples of future changes to the World Wide Web that may come about due to VRML are examined. Then a specific application is used as an example of the advantages VRML provides for developers who use the World Wide Web.

Researching The Growing Technology Of Virtual Reality, David Weinandt
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
Virtual reality is a fast growing technology within the computer science field. The current technologies using virtual reality are invading our everyday lives such as the medical applications of ultrasound and catscans. This technology is changing how we view data, as well as how common user applications are being constructed. The primary focus of the thesis is on the computer code necessary to compute the tracking of users. How the environment is generated, how users and objects are viewed by the computer, and how tracking codestructured on a basic level are some of the questions I cover in my thesis. …
Using Genetic Algorithms To Solve The Geometric Traveling Salesperson Problem, Michael Criswell
Using Genetic Algorithms To Solve The Geometric Traveling Salesperson Problem, Michael Criswell
Honors Theses, 1963-2015
Genetic Algorithms use life as their model to solve difficult problems in computer science. They use a collection of possible solutions to find an optimal solution in extremely large search spaces. They follow biological processes such as crossover and mutation and implement Darwinian natural selection to use the better solutions to create more possible solutions until an optimal solution has been found. The Traveling Salesperson Problem lies within a class of problems called NP. These problems are not solvable in a reasonable amount of time using classical methods. Genetic Algorithms are an alternative method for attempting to solve such problems. …
