Jam 2.0 Findings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We compared the pre-survey to the post-survey and got really great feedback! Not only did the mental barrier decreased, we were so happy that many jammers felt inspired to create things that are ambitious and beyond what we initially imagined! That’s the best dream a toolkit project could have, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Code Freeze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the final week of the semester. The first and foremost thing to do is setup a time for code freeze, so that our workaholic team members won’t continue pushing updates until the semester ended. (That was the plan, but we continued to push even after finals haha).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UI Pass<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good toolkit requires good UI. This week, Yingjie created the final UI via UXML and USS (HTML and CSS in Unity terms), with the icons Mia designed for every feature in the toolkit, and we have the following updated UI!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Starter Scene: Apart from the Sample scene we have iterated and tested upon, from the feedback during CAVERN Jam 2.0, we realized an empty starter scene would lower the cognitive barrier of starting a CAVERN project. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tester Scene: On the other hand, tester scenes help with testing various features, such as Vive Tracker calibration, head tracking pillars to check perspectives, color and font testing, scenes, etc. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sample Scene: Finally, the sample scenes were cleaned up and moved from Perforce onto GitHub, so it can be imported in the package.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
