Hi Katja What role with java3D play in the project, is the project going to be primarily focussed on java3D, or do you simply want to use Java3D as component of the project?
If the latter then I suggest you find a problem definition which would also hold your interest, and which would benefit from the use of 3D visualisation. Two spring to mind, which would create a great framework for extension and adoption by the java3D community. || Behave yourself || You may wish to model simple behaviours (CompoundBehaviour, CompoundReaction perhaps) using a framework you develop, which would allow someone to produce a simulation of fish schooling around a pond, avoiding predators, an abstraction of AI if you like. || Getting physical || On a similar vein, perhaps writing a rudimentary physics simulation and modelling framework. Which would use several degrees of accuracy and CPU usage to render physics to a certain level, it would be pluggable, allowing people to add new physics based behaviours. PoolBallBehaviour, BowlingPinBehaviour - where the physics calculations can be cut down and made more efficient for each case. || or (||) || If you want to consider a completely different role for java3D, you could consider a simple child education tool in java 3d, which would allow you to broaden your study criteria to include heuristics of child learning/development. (all key HCI topics, looked at from a child's point of view) Java3D would form an integral part of the solution, but your problem space would be thinking about the child's interaction. If the former, you wish to provide a proof of concepts focussed solely on Java3D, then anything which would show how cool java3D is to the world will be greatly appreciated :D - I would look to do some demo scene file, which studies and examples the concepts behind 3D rendering. I would love to see work on creating a semi-intelligent Behavioural framework, or even better, a pluggable physics framework would be *most* ideal for us who shy from long string of hellenic symbols interspersed with strange archaic maths symbols. Whatever you choose, good luck with your thesis!
