Week 11 – Play Tech Week

Hello Class-

It has been many weeks since I posted and I apologize. The Verizon 5G project has been quite a distraction.

Getting ready for Play Tech required us to do one more trip to LCCS on April 1st. We thought that we could do this trip through the collaborative VR classroom in rumii. It turned out to be much less intuitive and more complicated to make experiences in rumii than we thought. We could have taught you all how to access your rumii account but it was already difficult enough to communicate in Zoom. Soon we will have enough Oculus Go HMDs so that we can attempt to communicate with our teams.

Progress on all projects continues and we will all be testing our projects at Play Tech tomorrow, April 13th.

Trash Trivia is testing their full Family Feud-style game (Bolor and Raquel with a team of enthusiastic game designers).
Greener Grass will test pre-visualization of Farmer John’s troubles with farm run-off pollution made with Co-spaces (Milo, Zhane, Gingerale)
Ocean Odyssey will test their projection in the dome that Jose de Jesus put up on the 12th floor of 6 E 16th Street (Qiyao, Olivia, Fuad, Harry and Jessica) .
Polluters and Protectors will be testing their field game (Evan and Owen from LCCS).

We will also be testing the Under the Hudson Bay Scavenger Hunt experience in rumii.

It will be really busy day but it will help us make our projects really great user experiences for Earth Day two weeks from now.

Break a Leg everyone!!!
