Tool

AR/VR Exploration

DURATION
TEAMmates

First they talked about the history of AR and the application of it and then they asked us to download an app called "Just A Line" which is an AR exploration App. At first I thought this group will facilitate a game out of this App but we were only told to tried the app which was kind of disappointing. However, having a change to exploring the app was interesting.

The second half of the presentation was for VR. This part was more interesting because the room was set up with all the sensors needed for VR game. One thing I also learned from this section is VR actually collection your body movement data which raise the concern of data privacy.

After Hardie gave the presentation of VR, we got a chance to play somes VR games. I was so excited because I thought I could get to play the game but the device kept failing to connect so I didn't get a chance to play. So I turn into to observe my classmate's game. Natalia was the one who playing the archery game. It was fun to see someone else playing game. Since the monitor and the actual VR set up was on the opposite side of the room, I feel like I was observing another Natalia in the game, a hero while when I turn around and look at the actual Natalia holding the handle and post the shooting gesture and keep shooting into the air, that was kind of funny.
