Final Presentation Preparation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The majority of this week\u2019s time was focused on preparing for our final presentation on Thursday. On Wednesday we had a presentation content review of our second deck iteration with Heather and Dave. Essentially all of Friday was devoted to updating the slide deck to be focused around the insights we have gained from building the experience. We have several practices planned for the rest of next week, both in the RPIS and in our project room. We\u2019ve also invited Dr. Creswell, Mathew, Ian, and Patrick from Equa Health to our final presentation and organized a final play session for all of them afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Playtesting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We had a final round of playtesting with Shirley and Patrick at the beginning of this week to help guide some of the polishing of our experience. Shirley\u2019s main feedback was regarding buffing up the soundscape and Patrick was wholly satisfied with our experience. Constanza also ran one last playtesting session with four of our peers. The testing was helpful for pointing out a few bugs in our experience which were all easy fixes for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gillian created some more water splashes and ambiance for the environment that Faris implemented. While sound was not a metric of success for our final product, we found that the soundscape needed a little more depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optimization<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lauren, Faris, and Zibo have all been working on optimizing our build so the app can run as a standalone app on the Quest. The standalone app does not cause motion sickness and has full functionality, but we have only been able to get the frame rate up to 20-30 FPS. Since this affects graphics some, we have decided that our best solution is to also give the Unity Files over to Equa in addition to our standalone APK so that they can test with a high quality experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hand-Off Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We discussed hand-off with Equa this week and came up with a list of final deliverables and documentation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
