About
Earth Deforestation VR is a virtual reality experience using the Oculus Quest 2. The project had certain limitations such as:
- 5 minute maximum
- 2 controls maximum
These limitations allowed to hone in on user experience and make it as enjoyable as possible. The target audience was for kids with the vision of educating the new generation of the dangers of deforestation and global warming as a whole. We contacted Dr Chris Spencer to talk about how to improve the experience, this was very insightful as he made some good suggestions to include specific animals that would be affected due to deforestation making the experience more memorable in terms of the impact it has on the user.
My Contribution
As Project Manager for this group project i was responsible for organising the team, implementing the virtual reality setup, planning tasks via GitHub issues in addition to my coding tasks.
In terms of programming I implemented the Audio Manager, Scene Handler, handling of scripting/narration (using Fiverr) and implementing it at the correct moments. I also implemented the terrain and models with animations and triggers for scene changes.
