What are group hopes to achieve:
We hope to achieve a calming walk along the beach. The person wearing the goggles will be able to relax his or her mind and forget the world and reflect on themselves.
The construction process:
While making our V.R goggles I decided that I wanted to make my own design. I was willing to do it all by myself but the group said they wanted to stay with me. I told them a brief idea of what I was thinking and they laughed. They said it wouldn't work. So, I told them they don't have to put there name on it then, and that's when they let me take lead on my new creation. I honestly didn't really know what design I wanted to do. All I knew was that I didn't want to do the Poor Man's VR goggles. I felt like it was boring and it didn't suit my personality, plus everyone else was doing it and I just wasn't about following the crowd. So, the boys went out to the dumpster many of times to find "The perfect" cardboard piece, but I didn't think any of them looked right with what I envisioned in my brain. So finally when they gave up looking I found one on my teacher's desk. He said I could use it so.... I did. I started looking at the piece and I decided that I can use the whole box frame. I cut the sides off so that I could use it for another piece of the box. I then covered it with black duck tape. I did that because I needed something to cover the light that was coming into the box. Then I added two inserts. The two inserts were pieces of cardboard I cut off the box previously. I then glued the pieces on the bottom of the box. I needed the pieces to be stable because it needs to be able to sustain a phone without the phone falling out of place. I then cut out two eye holes that I would place the eye lenses in. Before placing the eye lenses in the holes Miles and Andrew sprayed the box, making the box red. I then taped the lenses into the box. We had to double up the lenses because just one lens was giving us double vision. So we got four lenses and places two back to back and it gave us normal vision. We placed Andrew's phone inside the V.R. goggles and tried them out. We came to the conclusion that we should add a strap to hold the box to our heads and be able to comfortably move. So... we did. Now the V.R. Goggles work great!
Capture a VR scene!
Our group made a Virtual Reality Panorama. We went to the bay and stood on the sand as we spun around to make this beautiful picture! We hope that when we insert the panorama into our V.R goggles the people using them will feel like they are really there. Our goal is to have them feel like there on the "Beach" and enjoying a nice relaxing moment. We hope that all their worries and cares dissipate. That is our goal while making this panorama!
