1st Weekly Project Posting – Moral Coders


  • What each individual in the group worked on over the last week
    • Galen
      • Starting working with lab getting familiar with Vive interface and capabilities. Started working with Unity to create environment. Loaded environment onto lab computer and inserted character into environment. Researched asset packages available.
    • Caroline
      • Since this is my first time using Unity, I started by working through tutorials to get a feel for the application and familiarize myself with the different tools.
      • I created a few basic scenarios for practice. I then started to work on the basic elements of our project by creating a road scene. We loaded this scene into the Vive to get a general feel for how it worked thus far.
    • Tony
      • I investigated options for collaboration on Unity project; created a fb group for better communication; created a new Unity project with that collaboration; reserved team calendar
      • I also conducted a small research of other VR moral dilemmas and shared it in our fb group
      • Together we tested out how to try our project on HTC Vive, it works!
      • Posted all group posts on this blog

    • we had hard time positioning camera properly in our world so the HTC position is correct
