Also this week I spent a good deal of time working on unreal engine 4. I am basically just replicating tutorials online; however, it makes for very good practice. The individuals teaching the tutorial typically give a good explanation as to what they are actually doing, making my learning go by quicker. The purpose of me doing this is just for my own personal interest.
Furthermore, I also still plan to conduct a survey. However, as soon as I am finished with my interviews I will devote a lot more attention to it than I am now. Here is how I plan to conduct the survey as of now:
Characteristics of the test:
- There will be a total of eight individuals attending.
- I will be using 3 different types of VR Headsets:
Who are you and what do you?
Before you came in today, did you have any interest in virtual reality or augmented reality?
Before you came in today, did you have any interest in video games?
Which Virtual Reality headsets did you use today?
(Ask them to rank each headset out of quality, comfort, performance, and practicality)
Would you buy a virtual reality headset? Which one?
If you bought a headset, what would you plan on doing with it?Also exciting news, I believe my company will be releasing a demo/trailer for their game in development fairly soon. The name of the game is Hypatia, it is of course for VR. The game as I believe I have mentioned intends to be more educational and social than most games. Anyway, I am interested to see what they have in store to present and I will post a source to it as soon as I can.
Well that about wraps up what I have done this week. Next week I should be talking more about what the results of my interviews. And hopefully I can start planning for my survey. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi Griffin! For the game the company is planning on releasing, Hypatia, how would you compare it to other games you have had the experience to play or see? What makes the game educational and social? Also, I am very excited to hear how the survey planning goes! Keep me updated!
ReplyDeleteHey Pooja, this is directly from TimeFire VR website: "Timefire has been busy for the past year building the first city to rise in Virtual Reality – we call it Hypatia. This new world will be collaborative, social, educational, and fun. Walk down our cobble stone streets and find a concert, stage play, shopping, or read a holographic book by the canal. From theaters and museums to exotic hidden surprises, Hypatia will alight your senses."
DeleteHey Griffin! It sounds like you got a lot accomplished in this past week! How did they interviews go? Did you gain a lot of insight into the questions you were trying to answer? Hope it went well and I can't wait to hear more about the surveys!
ReplyDeleteI think my interviews went very well. I got a lot of information regarding to my question(s). Surprisingly I got a wide array of answers from all the individuals I questioned.
DeleteGriffin, what content will people use when you do the surveys? Will you use games or videos or a combination of things?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, some sort of videogame and a 360 video most likely will be used. But I will get some advice from my co-workers as to what would be best.
