Sounds and Music

At least 4 unique sounds that get louder as you get closer, or that are triggered by interacting with objects in the scene, or that sound when objects hit other objects.

Companion Bot, ATM, Osborne Computer, both buttons for the spawners, and radio play sounds when interacted with.

Character Model

Each member of your team needs to use Makehuman and Mixamo to create a 1:1 scale kiosk worker that looks (reasonably) like you, wearing something G rated, with a suitable G rated idle animation. The worker could be trying to attract new customers, or working the register / pad, or ignoring the customers and looking at their phone, or sleeping, etc. The worker should say something when you touch them with either controller.

Textures

All textures used in the project came with the models that were imported.

Interactions

The user needs to be able to interact with at least 2 objects in the scene using their hand and have each of those objects produce new objects

Lighting Scheme

Create a new appropriate lighting scheme with at least 2 new lights for the kiosk

The lighting scheme I implemented have two colored lights coming from the two monitors in front of the character model. It shines blue and green lights on him. There is also a light that shines from the lantern.

FPS

FPS throughout the project varies depending on the actions and the objects on screen.

500 word discussion of how viewing and interacting with your world is different in the simulator and the headset.

Interacting with my world differs when using the simulator and the headset. In terms of accessibility, anyone can open up unity and run the environment and see it play. However, it is difficult and clunky to use the interactors in Unity. You have to hold down buttons and you can only move in one direction linearly and slowly. It’s not very intractable since you can only basically grab and move back and forth. It’s not very entertaining and the user experience is poor. Grabbing things is a hassle that involves more button pressing. There would be no way to move in an accurate way or with fine motor control. The immersion is very poor here. Doing things at the same time would not be possible for someone using a simulator. They would not be able to look around and interact with the environment at the same time. In the Unity simulator, you can only interact with objects or look around, not both. There are some positives to using the simulator instead of an actual headset. Using a simulator gets rid of the need for a whole external headset that needs to be charged. A user would have to make sure the headset is compatible and enable developer options and that would require having an expensive headset in the first place which is not accessible to everyone. Simulators also allow faster development if you need to quickly hop in and out of running the world. Headsets require the world to be loaded into it and then put on to interact with it so it may take longer. The benefits of headsets are substantial, however. The ability to interact with the environment is much better than the simulator at the cost of the barrier to entry of having a headset. Having two controllers while being to independently look around using the headset is a much better user experience than using a simulator. After loading up the world in your headset, you can have the benefit of being in the world itself. You can walk around the world as well as interact with items and object to a degree that isn't possible in a simulator. The immersion is incredible in the world using the headset. You have spatial awareness and the sounds are as if you are within the environment itself. The controllers also have you “grab” things to pick things up which helps with the immersion. Reaching out and touching the radio or grabbing the robots help the immersion and makes it realistic to a degree. You wouldn’t be able to simulate throwing an object as well as a headset can in a simulator. It feels natural to pick things up, stack them together, and even throw them across the room in the headset. Pressing buttons and hearing sounds happen is nice for immersion. With objects and the world being close to life-size, it's crazy to see myself sitting in a chair as if there was someone similar to me there in front that I can touch. The experience overall is way more fun than using a simulator.
