Realistic Network Modeling Using Minetest

Enable the creation and usage of realistic and accurate 3D and virtual reality models of modern computer networks for research and instruction.

=Problem Definition=

Background
Minetest is a free and open source 3D voxel game that enables the creation of complex virtual worlds. Mods enable modifying Minetest. There are 100s of free of mods, i.e.: Animals, Armor, Mechanics. There are step-by-step open source tutorials on how to create mods. However, current mods do not model computer networks and their control in a way that is realistic enough to enable quality research and education in TCP/IP-based networks and cybersecurity using 3D virtual worlds.

Deliverables
Currently, there are no virtual reality models of modern computer networks for research and education. As educational methods progress further into immersive technological learning, it is crucial that technology options are made available at the same rate. Products must be developed to meet this increasing need. Our goal is to create a realistic and accurate 3D model of modern computer networks for research and instruction that can be coupled with virtual reality to be used as a basis for further development or instruction. Our solution to this problem will be easy to use and allow potential students whose learning method caters to that of a visual learner to flourish in the academic subject of basic networking. Each network interface controller has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address. As a team, we will attempt to recreate these networks by creating a deliverable in the form of an environment in Mintest. This environment will utilize pipe-like blocks that transmit messages from computer to computer through a network switch.
