This week, we conducted another round of playtest at the Hunt Library on Tuesday. We received helpful feedback through playtesting. The playtesters were having trouble distinguishing between left and right, as well as how low they should get down. Partly, that is also due to the animation problems we were having last week. Through this experience, we also realized that people have a difficult time learning the movements when it is mirrored. It is a learned skill for dancers. In the next weeks, we are going to improve the animation and add color indicators on the wrists. Hopefully, that would help resolving this issue.
We also had our halves presentation on Friday. Throughout the week, we were trying to polish what we have until it is at a good stage to present. We were able to implement a lot of the features we designed for Level 2 and 3, including having next pose to guide the users. Below is the demo for our progress this week.
