This week we got all our hardware for the project and started initial technology backend setup for the project.
We faced some challenges while getting Vuforia and ARKit working together as those have recently started supporting each other and there isn’t a lot of documentation to help with the project. We are trying to get the tech working together so we can start making basic prototypes.
On another note, we have a basic networking backend for syncing objects on multiple mobile devices in a 3D space. We dwelled a bit with networking in AR and it doesn’t work without a physical instantiating or anchor point which we believe will work after we get both AR technologies together.
We also brainstormed a lot for the factions and classified the ideas. We mainly brainstormed their principles and design styles and were able to divide them into 6 factions which we believe would be a great ground for further art inspiration and balancing.
Following are some influence maps for the factions that we have narrowed upon
We spent this week chunking down our scope for the project and planning user stories for the first prototyping phase for the project. We kick-off our scrum from this week!
Joke of the week!
