Week 8 collaborating with other teams

Since Ocean Odyssey also plans to utilize the dome, our teams tried to create a connection between the projects this week. At the beginning of class, we had a zoom meeting with the members of Ocean Odyssey from LCCS to discuss the details and goals. The ideas went from a VR game about collecting trash with controllers to a more visual based experience. However, by the end of the meeting, so many ideas were discussed that we were more lost than earlier. Anezka’s written diagram helped us clarify our goals and mediums which lead to an idea of combining the two colored world and x-ray vision to show a plastic free ocean, a plastic filled ocean, and the inside of plastic filled fishes. We also decided on narrowing the background to being the Hudson River which lead to a more robust set of marine animals and plants to use for assets. I look forward to finalizing the project and seeing the new assets we will be getting next week.
