What we did

This week we began implementing our simplest test interface, where a user selects one of three target cubes.

Individual reports

• Alex explained the structure of a Unity project and created a base project with cube selection via mouse
• Dave is working on Xbox controller support
• Nicky is working on trackball support
• Ryan is working on Wiimote support

Team accomplishments

• Synced everyone up with GitHub so we’re all working on a common codebase (follow us at https://github.com/dsesclei/DS501)
• A lot of brainstorming

Problems

• Need to think more about what problems/opportunities the paper on naturalism poses for us
• Still not sure what our end product will look like. Right now, we’re trying to implement our fallback while brainstorming ideas for a more ambitious project
• What statistics do we want to track?
• Unity’s learning curve

Plans for the upcoming week

• Add two or three new input methods
• Create a “reset” area that a user’s cursor must return to before being able to click the next object
• Add event logging for statistics
• Continue thinking about what interesting things we can do after we finish this small project
