How To Use

Setup Instructions:

Install Unity Hub and Unity
- ThereminVR was created with Unity 2019.2.13f1, that version or above should be compatible.
- VRTK 4 requires Unity 2018.3.10f1, so a version as low as that may work as well.
Clone or download the zip file for github at https://github.com/Schamberger12/CS428_Theremin_VR
Add ThereminVR to the Project List in Unity Hub by clicking Add, then navigating to where you cloned or extracted the software to.
Click on the project in Unity Hub, this will open the project.
If the scene is blank, navigate to Scenes -> SampleScene to open the scene.
Make sure that you have the following Project Settings (Edit -> Project Settings) in Unity:
- Virtual Reality Supported:
  - Player -> XR Settings -> Virtual Reality Supported
- API Compatibility Level .Net 4.x
  - Player -> Other Settings -> Configuration -> API Compatibility Level
Hit play!

After you hit play, you're given the option of either the UnityXR CameraRig or the Simulated CameraRig
- Using your mouse and keyboard, tap whichever CameraRig you would like to use
No matter which option you pick, you'll immediately hear both the Theremin and the metronome.
To control the pitch of the Theremin you move either hand closer to or father away from the antenna on the right. Which hand technically doesn't matter, but I would suggest the right hand.
- Moving your hand closer makes the pitch go higher.
- Moving your hand father away makes the pitch go lower.
To control the volume of the Theremin you hold a hand above the antenna on the left and move it up and down.
- Lowering your hand lowers the volume.
- Raising your hand raises the volume.
To shift the base pitch of the Theremin higher or lower, you can use the 2 buttons located on the front of the Theremin.
- The right button raises the overall pitch of the Theremin slightly
- The left button lowers it slightly
- Move your hand into the buttons to activate them.

The metronome is located directly to the right of the Theremin when you start the application.
The metronome starts on and with a BPM of 140 when you start the application.
In order to turn off the metronome, move your hand into the Power Button as shown on the picture to the left.
To raise/lower the BPM, press any of the 4 buttons.
- The maximum BPM is 240
- The minimum BPM is 40
Only 4/4 time is currently available for ThereminVR.
