As a recipient of the Sept. Makership from Lvl 1, I will document my progress and provide general guides about the development of this VR app.
Weekly progress updates will be provided every Tuesday through a Medium article release.
A Scavenger Hunt 'Nature' VR Adventure
Description
This project targets the Google Cardboard VR platform for wide availability. Essentially, the user will view sequences of nature scenes accompanied by a narration of Ralph Waldo Emerson's 'Nature' essays. In a given scene, the user will have to search for a unique point of interest to unlock the next sequence.
This Medium article [1] explains more about the app description, inception, and interaction overview.
Footage
Generating 360 footage is expensive, time consuming, or flat out scarce. This Medium article [2] details this further.
Audio
Audio content is actually quite easy to find and process. . This Medium article [3] details this further.
Interaction Control
A general overview of what interactions will be covered is addressed in the second section of this Medium article [4]
