Abstract
This technical report aims to describe the steps taken to develop the application ‘Epoch Explorer,’ which is an interactive learning tool that seeks to immerse users in environments that are recreations of towns from the past and allow them to learn about the history of different era’s. This report provides an insight into the technology used to develop the application; Unreal Engine 5, Blender, Polycam and a variety of other technologies. It provides the reader with an insight into the architecture of the application and the various mechanics of it. An in-depth description of both the functional and non-functional requirements of the application is also provided.
The report will explain in detail the steps taken to create the functionality of the Epoch Explorer application such as the creation of the environment, the ability for a user to learn about objects in the world, to view objects in an in-depth manner, navigate the environment with a map and save and load their progress in their exploratory journey. Each of these facets of the application will be explained with accompanying screenshots of the blueprint code used to develop them and the design process involved.
