This week, we had discussions with our instructors regarding the project’s overall requirements and expected goals. Jesse Schell and Dave Culyba introduced us to the research direction of the project, the scale positioning of the entire floor, and their expectations for us, which provided a clear understanding of the project’s focus. In terms of collaboration within the team, we have set up the basic team information, confirmed the weekly schedules like core hours and weekly meeting time, and clarified the division of responsibilities among each member. We believe that using VR and MR technology to create art on an entire floor is exciting, and this is also one of our main goals. We hope to ultimately produce a “magical” experience similar to LBE or art installations, using MR as the medium, that transcends reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To start off our first week of development, our team began by setting up our Meta Quest 3 Headsets and creating a demo. After getting a basic demo set up, letting us know we could utilize our Meta Quest 3 at all, we looked into Meta’s SDKs and samples in order to look at how to access camera data. Once we were confident in that, we eventually integrated a 3rd party library built to track AprilTags in conjunction with the Meta Quest 3’s camera data, where we are now able to gather spatial distance of AprilTags and how far they are from our headset. Next, we are looking at ways to potentially use AprilTags to calibrate objects on the scale of a room, as well as running OpenCV to get access to a wider variety of visual processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat’s an AprilTag?
An AprilTag is a visual fiducial system popular in robotics research, that allows us to track particular patterns for their ID, Location, and Orientation. They’re similar to QR codes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, this week we also participated in the “Composition Box” event held by ETC every semester. We have exchanged our thoughts with other project teams, and received many valuable and inspiring pieces of feedback. These suggestions from different perspectives have helped us re-examine the potential improvement directions of the project, and have important reference significance for optimizing the experience design for the following weeks. Mike and John also shared about team collaboration after the event, and we learned a lot from it. These contents will directly guide our work methods in project execution in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
