7P8- Virtual Reality

Using an Ipad, VR headset, computer, and Cospaces, I created a car chase with virtual reality. The goal was to add movement to the creation.

During this process, I learned how to create things to move in Cospaces. I also learned how to make different things move in coordination with other objects. For example, having the character move to another object with a click of a button. But also have the character talk while moving and running around in a path that I created.

The 7 standards of the class are Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. My project ties to Innovative Designer because virtual reality is a great way to develop and test different ideas before they're made in real life. It saves time, energy, and resources by using virtual reality to troubleshoot design flaws.  

A challenge I overcame on this project was being able to make something move with other objects, to have them work together. I was able to do it by looking on the web and asking my friends how to make something move with other objects. The difficult part was looking on the internet how to find out how to make something move. When I looked online it said nothing about coding the way it moves, all it said was to put this here and turn this off and you would be good but that did not work, sadly.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the design, and also how fast the cars would move. I would also change the way the car interacted with the character when the character got hit. The problem I had was when the car hit the person, the screen would not always show up. But when I tweaked the code it finally worked most of the time, more than before.

Hastings High School Career and Technical Education Program offer classes in Agriculture, Business Management, Computer Programming, Construction Trades, Culinary Arts, Digital Multimedia, Engineering Design, Finance, Insurance, and Marketing.  My project connects to the Engineering Design CTE program at Hastings High School.  My project connects to careers in Virtual Reality testing.
