About the house

The multimedia house is a 3D environment created to give an example of how multimedia technology can be used within the home.

The aim of this project is to create a virtual environment based on multimedia technology where the project itself is made using multimedia applications.

The house consists of 3 rooms. In each room several multimedia technologies are demonstrated where the user has the ability to examine them in 3-dimensions.
