8P7 VR

Are you working by yourself or in a team? I'm working by myself

Using CoSpaces, I created a virtual reality because I wanted to play around with virtual reality and make my own world and see how it was like. When I was creating my world I realized that it was very easy and fun putting down props to fill my world to my own desire. After my world was finished I realized it was a good idea to do virtual reality because I really haven't been able to play around with it before.

During this process, I learned that virtual reality is a lot more advanced than I thought, and I didn't realize that it could be used for medical reasons too. Not only is VR used in the construction world but in the medical world where it can be helped to train new doctors or surgeons who need that advanced surgery practice to be able to preform well in a need of an emergency.

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 I was constantly making my VR world to how I needed it and adding the necessary components to the world in order for me to be able to be successful for the project.

A challenge I overcame on this project was trying to figure out what I wanted to create in a matter of 2 days. I was able to overcome this challenge by researching the different types of things you can do with VR and make with VR. Once I spent a day in a half playing around with props and characters etc, I found what I wanted to create which was a jungle with fun little characters. Another huge challenge I overcame was trying to get the VR program set up with my VR world, and after asking around I finally figured out how to get the actual VR device up and running for me.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change is the type of world I was going to build. The reason I would change this is I wish I created more of a useful and an actual thing to do in my world other than walking around pointlessly. If I ever do VR again I will be adding like a parkour course or some kind of challenge or quest for me to do for my project. The first time I did the VR world I had no idea of what to create so next time I'll do more research on what I could create using that website.
