Quarter Presentation and Final Direction<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the week, we finished our quarterly presentation and decided on the final direction of our future project, which is to create 3D models in Ai and add them to Alice’s library of resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People to Consult<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Walton<\/strong> – Knows a lot about UI design \/ game design<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave Culyba<\/strong> – Long-time developer on Alice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Audia<\/strong> – Worked on Alice even before it was a CMU project<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doug Slater<\/strong> – Worked on Alice and teaches kids game creation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Christel<\/strong> – Has lots of experience w\/ playtesting and HCI<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesse Schell<\/strong> – Expert in game design<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mosha Mahler & Ruth Comley<\/strong> – General 3D pipeline issues \/ problems<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Potential Approaches Suggestion From Faculty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generate assets ahead of time, categorize, and add them to Alice library<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe use AI to generate prompts for AI asset generation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Code generation specifically for animation might be ok, since this is difficult in Alice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a system to generate AI prompts more easily <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design\/Development Advice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Envision one specific workflow, and figure out how to improve it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making asset\/content creation easier is frequently requested feature in Alice<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on feasibility, rather than current hardware reqs and cost<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice geared towards education, so don\u2019t over-simplify potential learning opportunities<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get integration with Alice working ASAP<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consideration prompt moderation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to deliver a packet of guidelines, lessons learned, and next steps<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on building separate tools first, worry about end-to-end integration later<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miscellaneous recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major goal should be encouraging storytelling + creativity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly train AI on existing Alice assets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out how Alice is used in a school curriculum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out AI tools available in Blender<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Talk to AI animation team<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at Scratch, a block-based programming language (scratch.mit.edu)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask Don Slater about students using Alice to learn programming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programmer Update:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ui Interface Programming <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
