PROJECT PROGRESS   | 29-31 March 2021 This week, I have started working on the food festival prototype and at the same time, I have started designing the character. While working on the project, it took some time for me to get used to unity and also there are fewer choices of free asset stall in the asset store. XAMPP Workshop XAMPP is an abbreviation for cross-platform, this allows you to have a local web server on the computer. This helps the developers to create and also test their programs on a local webserver. Image 01 Image 02 Image 03 VR Working Progress Before working on the environment, I started with rough sketches of the food festival and the placing of the stalls. From this, there are six stalls and at the end of the festival, there would be having a counter. When the player stepped on the front counter, the screen would pop out the score of the game.  The sketches indicate the stall position and also there would be an entry and exit. After I have done sketching, ...

PROJECT PROGRESS   | 22-24 March 2021 This week, we are having our VR workshop. During the workshop, I have understood how to build a VR game from the beginning and it took quite some time to learn as I didn't know much about unity. To create the project there is two software to learn which is a unity to build the environment, and cinema 4D to create the 3D object of the VR game. There is some problem where I come across, whereas some of the function would need #C Script and from there I am having a difficult time figuring out how it's work. While learning how to create the VR game, I am also working on the character "Evil Magician" and do some research and experiment on how to improve the environment of the game. Coming out with two sketches of the environment to see which is more interesting and also listing out the food and asset that is needed in the game.  Asset list: - Building  - Food Stall  - Character  - Information stand - Cashier counter As for the f...

  PROJECT PROGRESS   | 15-17 March 2021 In this stage, I have started caring out the usability test. Website usability testing is a practice of evaluating the functionality and design of your website by observing the user's actions and behaviour as they complete a task.  (testing? testing?, tests? and website?, 2021) During the test, each user would be given an objective for usability testing. This would help to see if the website prototype is easy to navigate and at the same time, while the user is testing out the prototype their action would be screen recorded. This is to see the behaviour of the user if they have face any obstacle in the process of reaching the objective. After they have gone through the website prototype they would be given a questionnaire to help with collecting feedback from the user. The questionnaire is to collect data on the web prototype.  Responses Analyse  In this web prototype testing, there is five users who would be given an...
