Week 8 - VR Project presentation

A day before week 8, we scraped our scripts, cleaned our levels, and prepared our Mini-golf VR to be fully functional and working.

Sayed:

Task: Finalizing the project.

I deleted all the teleportation anchors I created for the test. Set up the teleportation system for the other scene or mini-golf court and we should have another scoreboard for another scene.



Physic material

We solved the bouncing problem in unity. We had to create a new physics material and set bounciness to some kind of number(in our case it was 0.7) and set Sphere collider material to our made physics material. Now, if you hit a ball hard, or you hit it up, when it comes back to the ground it will bounce.

Making the presentation, test the project one last time and recording it for the mix class.

What I learned from this project

I personally think this project helped to learn more about the virtual reality and how physics is important to get the best result. I think everything must be as smooth as it can be to create the best experience for the player and every detail can effect this experience.

Task: Make a scoreboard

For the scoreboard we needed to have 2 things: Level score and Total score. For that we had to not let the scoreboard to be destroyed when we moved to another level. After investigation, I Found out that there is a method called: DontDestroyOnLoad() , which does not allow objects to be destroyed, and if our scoreboard is not destroyed on a new Scene, we can have Total of score. 

Awake method is made so that if GameObject that contains the script is initialized when a Scene loads, or when a previously inactive GameObject is set to active. And here we can see that everytime scoreboard is being initialized, we are adding onSceneLoaded method to the SceneLoaded, and resetting the levelscore to 0 , because everytime you move to a new scene(Level), you need to clear the score of the previous level, but keep in Total score field. 


Here, we need to initialize the scoreboard which has the results of our previous level. And when we are initializing a new scoreboard, we are setting the position of it , of where scoreboard suppose to be in our next level. And also, it increases a number of a Hole number. 
Also there is a function called: UpdateLevelScore and UpdateTotalScore, that it is pretty clear what it does,  and in the beginning when we were making a scoreboard, we know that in golf, there is a rule: If you hit 12 shots and wont make it to the hole, you should move to another level, but since this is VR, we decided to let this function do nothing when you hit your ball 12 times.

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

Image
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
