IMD 3901 Design Studio 3 Milestones

   Brief Overview: Our work this week was mostly focused on the project proposal and Alpha presentation. We met a few times during the week to divide the work for the proposal, work on the proposal together, divide the parts for the Alpha presentation, and practice our presentation. We also planned to not work much or have to complete anything during reading week. In our high-level development plan, we planned to start working on the models and environments during Milestone 5. This week, I worked on various parts of the project proposal and the Alpha presentation. The team worked on the written parts of the proposal together, and individually I worked on the wireframes for the Gamma Environment and the Alpha Environment. For the presentation, I worked on the script and presentation for learned challenges and changes since our initial idea.  The wireframes I created for the Gamma and Alpha environments respectively: This week's sprints' hours and statuses  updated Thi...

  Brief Overview: For this week, our group met online to plan out our project and specify all the details of each environment and the scope of the project. We had a lot of discussions surrounding each specific environment within our art gallery experience. After our milestone meeting earlier in the week, it was easier to gauge everything we wanted to include in our experience. Once again, we used our Miro board to document and record our progress.  Things that were clearly identified during this meeting were the experience flows for each of the environments for our VR art gallery, a mood board for the visuals of the experience, and division of work for the project proposal and Alpha presentation. Each of our environments are centered around the music, with an interactive activity in each one to get users immersed in the world and music.

Brief Overview: This week, our group met online to discuss and expand upon the final idea we discussed and agreed upon earlier in the week. The purpose of this meeting was to determine the specifics of this idea and discuss what features and requirements we want to include in the experience. To get all our ideas down and documented, we used our Miro board. We also determined each member’s roles within the project.  Our ideas for the VR art gallery is to feature the five brainwaves that reflect the activities of the human brain. We want to create environments within the gallery that showcase each brainwave musically and visually. For example, the theta or alpha brainwave can have users in an open field, laying down and gazing at the stars. The five brainwaves:   During this brainstorm session, we discussed and wrote down how we can make our brainwave art gallery interactive, have social aspects, promote discussion, be accessible, and enhance teaching and learning.
