DESCRIPTION
This is the result of a summer project at the Cambridge University Computer Laboratory.The EDSAC was the first computer that scientists could run programs on to solve real problems. To celebrate this historic computer and it's importance to the field of Computer Science, a team of volunteers started building a functioning replica of the computer from scratch in 2012.
This simulation builds on some of their work, and teaches you about the operation of the EDSAC by taking you on a virtual tour of the machine.
The simulation was designed for a display device over 4m wide and at a resolution of 5700 x 2070, with a Microsoft Kinect v2 sensor situated at the top of the screen. It will run on a standard keyboard, mouse and monitor setup, though with an envelope view.
An WebGL version of the software (minus Kinect and widescreen) was also created.
This was built using Unity 3D.
This is an application that can also be fetched from https://sourceforge.net/projects/meet-edsac/. It has been hosted in OnWorks in order to be run online in an easiest way from one of our free Operative Systems.
