Application designed to designed to enable the computer science department of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg to display its 50 years computer science department exhibition online. This 3D Viewer web application can be easily accessed via https://50-jahre-informatik.cs.fau.de.

The mission of the project was to deliver a web based viewer that allows users to display the panoramas of the computer science department’s 50th anniversary on the web, without having to pay extensive license costs for other commercial 3D viewers. Detailed information at each booth should be delivered via third-party plugins, which operate on the viewers API.
