Week1-Getting to know us

Goal: Getting to know each other and our project

Our team kickstarted the project with several meetings. To learn more about the project, we did the following:

Scheduled meetings with our advisers

Carl and Melanie walked us through the foundation of the project, things to look out for, and the common challenges previous AR teams faced. They advised us to try previous projects Pupil and Ako.

After the first meeting, we decided on our goal with our advisors.

Goal: Create a multi-player AR experience for two players who are not necessarily in the same physical space. We are suggested to brainstorm more and do tons of prototypes. After that, we can decide on the most fun and engaging one then dive into it! 

We will follow these guidelines for our brainstorming

1. Research on existing projects before and fully explore the possibility of multi-player AR experience.
2. Focus on social interactions and things can be done together.
3. Deliver a complete engaging multi-player AR experience at the end.

Know each other better

After the kickoff meeting, we also had an internal meeting. We introduced each other during the first team meeting. We talked about our interest and what we wanted to get out of this project. By this meeting, we all know everyone’s goal for this semester. It helps us to know each other better and we can consider all the personal goals during this semester.

To-do:

1. We plan to use this week to research/brainstorm some ideas for our project and explore more directions.
2. We plan to discuss what we are going to show on Quarters.
3. Programmers start to set up all the devices then we can try past projects and more AR experience.
4. Team name by Thursday!
5. Start to design our logo, poster, half-sheet, website once we have our team name.
