ARENA\u2019s development aims to emphasize user experience design in mixed-reality storytelling by providing tools that allow users to interact with content. In this project, our team will contribute to designing and developing a mixed-reality interactive environment using ARENA.<br>With ARENA\u2019s features, the goal of our interactive environment would be to emphasize users\u2019 connections with the scene. To achieve this goal, we took inspiration from old Chinatown in Pittsburgh. Our team will memorialize its legendary background story to recreate the scene of Pittsburgh\u2019s Chinatown 100 years ago on the ARENA platform. Since ARENA can provide simple user interactions such as moving and tapping, our scene will be displayed as an exploration tour with storylines. Tasks can be activated based on users\u2019 actions. Follow us on this tour and unveil the mysteries of Pittsburgh Chinatown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Instructors:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etc.cmu.edu\/blog\/author\/ss8s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Scott Stevens<\/a>,&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.etc.cmu.edu\/blog\/author\/christel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mike Christel<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project SME: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etc.cmu.edu\/blog\/author\/syee\/\">Shirley Yee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Project consultant: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etc.cmu.edu\/blog\/author\/jdessler\/\">John Dessler<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ikiteisland.com\/\">Zhiying (Selena) Guan<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.penghuazhou.com\">Penghua Zhou<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/zibo-ye\">Zibo Ye<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antonrenouf.com\/\">Anthony (Anton) Renou<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xinyu-li-portfolio.com\">Xinyu Li<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/hank106\">Jiahao (Marsh) He<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Client<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"376px;\" height=\"376px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/DG6B9UrrzIbcvBCB09MhJ0dLneODoWQ3vYFSc0klYm2KQe3HGO6G09j6pxsLbl8g0QHQCLb9WwrnvyhubsT1wxkSrKnIYY_qtK5XOj5d_j2c0qPYxCspKjQdfOsIbrwXG-SDkGA_-QgEk5g=s2048\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><em>Anthony Rowe, Professor<\/em>, CMU Electrical and Computer Engineering, <a href=\"https:\/\/wise.ece.cmu.edu\/\">WiSELab<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Including research programmers: <em>Michael Farb, John Choi, Ivan Liang<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"411px;\" height=\"139px;\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/uoEjO8qHliaq1fHQ58NRgNYObRwuOehCy8ECyLXipJVKFHcbClE2r8oUwJgId9-EDW6sgzIZQVGNOEZmBvC7XZp6agQAA6NhN3fjpO3ExWfhp2m_KL13zGI1UTn_HDoT0XhHyC50xNMmDro=s2048\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ARENA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>ARENA is an open source, collaborative, web-based, multi-platform VR\/AR\/XR authoring tool developed by Carnegie Mellon University&#8217;s WiSELab.

The team may use models from the Smithsonian Institution\u2019s 3D Digitization Collections. The collection contains thousands of models such as a rare coin from Yuan Qian, China, 290 BCE, Andrew Carnegie\u2019s mansion (exterior and interior), the 1903 Wright Flyer, and the Space Shuttle, Discovery.&nbsp; The students can also utilize high-end photogrammetry equipment to create digital artifacts of their own for use in the project.&nbsp; With these tools and assets, the team will create an experience that is historically significant, beautiful, and compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-84c3ebec0d9271b14ab43719cd15cf27\">\/\/Include client name, logo, and links to relevant websites (if applicable).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AR Mixtory \u201cARENA\u201d is a multi-platform VR\/AR\/XR authoring tool developed by Carnegie Mellon University\u2019s&nbsp;Wiselab.
