In this very first week, we set up all the basic details like team name, team roles, core hours……We also did some research and brainstorming as well as had a meeting with our advisors.

OVERVIEW

This is an educational project. The goal of this project is to create technology-based experiences that teach students (K-16 as well as medical students) how the eye works, how the brain drives eye movements, how the eyes move in a conjugate fashion, and how lesions in the brain, brain stem or at the level of the cranial nerves supplying the eye’s muscles can cause abnormal eye movements.

PROGRESS

Team name

We came up with at least three ideas per person, and then voted for the best name in our mind. Since the team name has been chosen, artists would start working on the logo, half sheet and poster.

Set Working Environment

We arranged the project room properly so that everyone could work in a convinient environment. For the hardware, we have everything in the project room work and sent an ticket asking for more devices. Software is ready, too. We all have our Unity3D and Adobe CC installed and registered.

Advisor Meeting

We had our first official meeting with our advisor Scott and Salvador. In this first meeting we were able to learn more about the project and client, and share some rough ideas. We are very excited to work with them.

Research and Brainstorm

During our internal meeting, we discussed the goal of our project, the target audience and possible ideas. We even got some good references that could be showed to the client. We will conmmunicate with him and see the feedback.

Schedule Meeting with Client

Our client is Erle Lim Chuen Hian-a neurologist and and Assoc. Professor at the National University Health System at the National University of Singapore. With a 12 hour time difference, communicating can be a bit challenging. However, We scheduled a Skype meeting with him finally. The first client meeting would be in the evening of this Friday. The main purposes of the first meeting are: get to know each other, make sure of the client’s needs and consult him with our questions about the project. And of course, we will set down the regular client meeting time.

PROSPECT

After we have the first client meeting, we will try to find out the best game idea for the project. Artist will continue creating logo, half sheet and poster. Programmer may start building the website. Also, we will make a detailed semester plan.
