Week 14
Putting it all Together
Given that you have heard about
the basics of VR and AR in class, and done some projects to get a better
handle on the application development side of things, and recently seen
a variety of current work in the area, this week the class is going to
break into groups of 3 or 4 and brainstorm on creating a VR or AR
experience for a particular problem, as though you were a small company
trying to pitch this idea, to try and pull a lot of these ideas
together.
Tuesday's class should be devoted to data gathering, coming up with the
general concept for the experience, and agreeing on the technology that
you propose to use. At the end of Tuesday's class your group should
email andy the location of a public webpage with your current set of
ideas (this can be a google doc or other shared publicly available
page), a selfie taken of your team in class, and the names of all the
members on your team.
Thursday's class should be devoted to refining the concepts and creating
a pitch, which should take the form of a webpage containing your
proposal, including sketches and drawings of what the experience would
be like. Note that you will not be graded on the quality of the sketches
or drawings, but they should be good enough to give the reader a good
idea what you are proposing. It should include a rough setup cost and
cost to run the experience, rough development timeline, how many people
would be able to participate, hardware requirements (both attached to
the person and remote), software and development requirements, staffing
requirements, location requirements, etc.
The experience you design should be implementable on existing technology
- that is if someone wanted to fund you to create this experience, you
should be able to buy all of the necessary hardware off the shelf.
The topic for your experience is informing people about the Great
Chicago Fire of October 1871, which started three blocks east of where
we hold class. Note this topic is intentionally left a little vague as
there are a variety of ways to teach people about the fire depending on
the scope of the experience you want to create, whether your users are
physically located in Chicago or not, where you would like the
experience to take place (walking outside, in a bus, in a museum, in a
classroom, in the home), whether it is a group experience, what age
rages you are supporting, and the kind of technology you want to use.
You should make decisions on those issues pretty quickly.

google maps is also good for seeing what is at those various locations
today.
