8P4- Virtual Reality

Using CoSpaces, I created a VR World of a city because I wanted to create a calming and simple world. I also wanted to create a calming and pleasing view. I thought a city would display such. This way, I was able to create a project that would not only challenge me but also be fun to create.

During this process, I learned how to change the viewpoint of the user. Before, the viewpoint was to zoomed in and the POV moved amongst the world to slowly. I learned how to adjust this allowing the user to move faster and at a better POV while viewing and moving throughout the map.

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 Creative Communicator because I expressed and showed a scene I thought would be cool.

A challenge I overcame on this project was evenly distributing the buildings without it being uneven. I was able to do it by trial and error. The first couple attempts I failed at creating and adjusting it. However, after awhile I was able to figure it out and adjust amongst the map to create a better and straighter view.

Given a chance to do this again, I would change the size I displayed my city at. The reason why I would change it is because I think the buildings may be too big compared to the streets. The Buildings scale compared to the roads and street accessories is enormous and too big. So I would change the frames and sizes of the buildings to create a more realistic POV.
