Development Log


Although we have not started physical development, we have created a starting point for the project and made a few software decisions in reference to that. Unity will be the primary software development tool for our Graphic User Interface (GUI). Additionally, we have decided to officially use the Arduino for our microprocessor that will handle the real-time output to the speaker or LEDs. We developed a core design that will be added onto as the project progresses. Our GUI and its capabilities will begin with the user being able to control the output of LEDs. From there, we will introduce sound capabilities. After test trying sound outputs, out first task will be to create a virtual piano with a physical output to a speaker. If there is more time following that endeavor, we will then attempt a sound board and recording technology that will allow the user to record a series of movements and play their outputs back. Hopefully, we will be able to tackle many of these goals, and eventually be able to overlay sound and light recordings to play simultaneously, all controlled within the VR space. Essentially, we want the VR user to be a pseudo-programmer in that they will be able to record and program a series of inputs that produce a meaningful output.
