Google Sketchup Assignment

     In my project, I decided to create a virtual garage that one could use to learn and practice their automotive skills on. This type of program would be useful to those in the professional business of servicing vehicles and/or building cars and trucks, as well as the individual who would like to learn how to work on their own vehicles. In my virtual garage, I have added various tools and machinery that one could use for a variety of tasks. I have also integrated a virtual computer (as seen in the pictures) that the individual could use to source out information or instructions for whatever task they may seek.
     This type of world will play a role in the further development of virtual reality because it opens up a variety of different scenarios that one would not normally be able to be exposed to in one single place. By utilizing a virtual world for automotive technician garage training, one has all of the tools required at their fingertips. The simple click of a mouse of input of a command and a machine or tool, which may take a while to source in reality, will appear instantaneously. I believe that the virtual world will help in numerous ways towards the advancement of certain skilled trades, as well as the development of newer tools and machinery that could be explored in virtual reality.
