Week 45 - Working on our final assignment

Image
    Working on our final assignment Week 45 This week we met again on Friday to continue on the project. We started with implementing the broom. We found a nice asset for it and put it into our project. As we tried to implement the grabbing of the broom with the VR hands, we had some issues where the broom was always off.  Since we wanted to use the grabbing script from our previous project because it was working well, we thought this would be the case as well. But we were wrong. So after a few hours of frustration, we decided to put the knife into our Harry Potter game and test it. The grabbing of the knife works well and we didn't know where we are messing up with the positioning of the broom. Then we got a brilliant idea to put the knife as a child object of the broom, position the knife handle where we want the hand to be placed on the broom, and get the right position values. Eventually, we removed and the knife itself and made the broom work. Authors: Patrik Horny, ...

Week 44 - Starting to work on our final assignment

     Starting to work on our final assignment Week 44 This week we have to start working on our final assignment. Last week we assign everybody to find ideas on what we could do but in classic fashion, we all came up with crappy ideas that were too complicated to implement within our time limits as well as we all have separate bachelor's to write. We eventually did what we did at the start of every assignment. Started browsing the free asset store and looked for everything and anything. We eventually found a package with Harry Potter wands and we got the idea to do a game inspired by the Harry Potter universe.  After some digging, we found an abandoned project that had the textures we wanted. After importing those assets we decided to make a functional map to try it out.  While exploring the map we made using the assets we found, we came to think "why don't we make a game where you can fly in Hogwartz?". After some thinking, we decided this was the right course ...

Personal reflection - Mircea-Ionut Dobre - 293117

 Personal reflection Mircea-Ionut Dobre 293117 First project - Vuforia For our first XR project, we had to make an application using Vuforia for a marker based augmented reality experience. This did not go well to say the least.  We had constant problems with vuforia. At first it seemed quite easy to implement as we were mostly already accustomed to unity from the previous semester but we ran into problems especially when we started building the app going thru multiple versions of Unity and Vuforia before we got one to run. The light in the room was also a problem when the app was trying to get the marker. We also ran into some problems while getting the gyroscope scripts to work with our android test phone. We only had 1 android phone that was not company-locked (companies won't let you install external APKs on your phone if you have a work profile) so we had to use a Chinese phone. After getting past these problems the compile times on a pretty potent gaming laptop were abys...
