Meeting with our Specialists 8

Post no.16

Tutor(s) Present: Jazmi Jamal

I honestly try to never miss a consultation session with any tutors (although I did not achieve a substantial amount of progress) because I feel like I would still benefit from them - as I could get different perspectives. Which is important.

So today I showed Jazmi my slides, (the one I did because I thought there was a progress sharing and turned out that I was the only one that did it - which is good in a way) and through that, he could see a better overall look on my progress.

1. UNITY
He mentioned that UNITY : Fluid levels or anything that dealt with water physics was difficult to execute. I wasn't planning on including any water animations in it but it was good information. I think it's because of the prototype coding I showed him, it had a waterfall in it.

2. Music
Another thing he mentioned was that I had to find free music, and I could get it from SoundCloud or westonemusic. I should pick the music first, and then derive the graphics from there. Which is an important note. My go to for free music has always been FMA.

3. Projection
Through my slides, I showed him how my projection would work. But it turned to be too much of a hassle to calibrate and then he suggested to do something alike the holographic box I did last semester. Simple and precise. He showed me this:


I could just use the same method! I LOVE THIS METHOD! Why didn't I think of this?! I could just use the monitor screen or tv as the screen and it would work handily. 4. Board protection To protect the sensitivity and such of the boards, I would need to case them properly to avoid as much errors as possible. 5. Glove Design I brought my boards to show him and he thought that the size of the boards would restrict hand movements of the users. 

The red dot is the microphone. Right now it looks like a hand-thong. Ohmygod. I need to redesign it.
