Week 5 - Preparation for VR Project

This week we were presented with Virtual reality. After that, each of our group members had a task to come up with an idea and make a short description about his idea.


Dalius

Idea: Aim training / shooting range

Description: Main idea is to make user to interact with weapons. And so that with oculus VR you could move around and see some dummy targets, and have a mark on them, which indicates where you have to shoot. And every time user shoots, or pulls a trigger, bullet shoots and if it hits the dummy target, it makes a noise/beep and target disappears. In the menu, you could choose on which part of a dummy target you want to practice to aim. Ex: Head, body, etc. Also a distance, to be more challenging for a user to hit a dummy target.

Sayed:

Idea: VR Oculus quest – bowling

Description: This week started with me setting up my project for oculus device. I went through a few video tutorials to learn more about VR.I didn’t have the device and it made it difficult to create and test anything. But I followed a video and learn a few things about VR mechanics e.g. grabbing, throwing and teleportation.my idea was to create a bowling court and the player can grab a bowling ball and throw it and based on how many pins are hit, he scores accordingly. This game was a great start to create, test and learn more about VR.

Since 2 persons of our group left, we decided to go with a Mini-golf idea. Mini-golf is a simple game where you have a club and a ball. And you need to hit a ball to the hole with as less shots as possible.
For making it to Virtual reality, most of the golf rules had to be implemented, such as:

  • Score system
  • Out of bounds system
  • Reset position system
  • Movement/teleportation system
And we decided that each of the group member had to design their own level, just so we could have some variety in levels.

Week 2 - Marker based AR

Image
  The second session, it was for lab hour. After a short discussion, we picked the idea from Tobias that we would develop a block breaker game. This would be based on two image targets, where one image target would be the level of the game and another the controls for the game. Block breaker game used as inspiration After the installation of Vuforia a nd set up the license, w e began by making simple prefabs with similar functions to the original and scripting some basic behavior. We managed to get the image targets working but the ball always fell when we tried to run and move it. Then we figured it out that we should set the gravity of them to 0, so that we can make it possible to control the paddle by moving the image target. Early prototype The biggest challenge we ran into was getting everything collide properly. When moving the ball and the paddle to the controllable image target, the ball would get launched underneath the objects spawned on the level image target. We tried vario

Week 6 - Progress of VR Project

Week 6 started not too well, cause 2 of the group members decided to quit the group and start a new one. Since we had an idea what we want to do, we sticked with mini-golf idea, and decided to go further with the functionalities. Sayed: Task : M ovement design. Each one us created a mini golf field to start with. I started working on teleportation from one place to another. I created a teleportation anchor at first. Created XR rig. Created empty objects for my right and left controllers.  A base controller for each hand. Added XR controller action based to my base controller and set up references for each controller. Changed the ray from linear to Bezier Curve and changed the color, created a new script to activate and cancel the teleportation. If the player is seated and has not the option of turning around, we implemented a rotation method that with pressing joystick to the right or left he turns 90 degrees accordingly, and finally tested on device.

Week 3 - Markerless AR

Image
This week we were presented with markerless augmented reality. The main difference between this and marker based is the need for a marker. Markerless will use the environment to try and make markers on which to project objects we want to place. The setup for the projects are easy as the packages needed for markerless AR are easily available on unity hub. The requirement for this project is to make an educational app. We decided to spend this week each working on an idea and make a small prototype to try and get a feel for markerless AR and to have something to start a project with. Here are the ideas we came up with: Tobias: My idea for a project is a history education app where the user can see real life scale models of historical weapons like the trebuchet. To make the app more interesting, we can add animations to the weapon, to allow it to go through the different stages of using the weapon. Additionally, we can add information screens for each of the stages, so the user can learn
