Week 40 - VR assignment week 1

  Week 40 VR assignment This week was the lab hours days where all of us met and tried to come up with an idea for the VR assignment. On the previous presentation we've been introduced to some techniques that we can explore when developing our VR project. We settled with the mechanic of grabbing objects because we thought it is interesting and that it could be fun. Then the idea about a game where we throw stuff on targets came up. The concept of the game is following: the player has a variety of weapons to choose from as well as targets to hit. And that's about it.

These are: -Cave automatic virtual environments(CAVE) where an empty room is used and its surfaces are changed usually using a projecto...
