First Person Builder

Watch in high quality	Watch in high quality

I'm developing a branch of applications that I'm calling First Person Builders. Through an interface similar to most first person shooters you are able to build and edit environments in real time 3D.

In a typical scenario the user starts from a prefabricated environment and make additions to it like f.ex. build walls, add furniture, lights etc.

One of the fundamental aspects of the software is that there is not a stage in which you build and another in which you review the results. It's all done in the same stage.

A major advantage is that the interface is very familiar to a huge group of users that is also extremly well trained in using it. Probably anyone who has played a first person shooter can understand and use the application almost immediately.

This concept can be used to create custom applications for a wide variety of branches.

The applications are developed using the jMonkeyEngine API.

Here's an application made for a pedagogical project at Malmö Konsthall where you can build your own exhibitions:

You can walk around,

build walls,

and insert pictures.
