Week five update:
This week Team Abode has been working on overcoming some technical challenges with multi-user VR. We haven’t been able to get our next virtual prototype out (testing simple interactions in the Hearth space) due to getting two separate/unique rooms running on the network. We want to get this done as soon as possible so the guest no longer comes into the host’s identical room. It will help us boost immersion in the space, as well as be useful knowledge for us to implement in our next prototypes.
Thus, we have taken the opportunity to focus more on user testing with our existing virtual prototype, as well as having our designers flesh out their non-virtual research so we can jump into next week with a head start.

From a production standpoint, we have been still working to get everyone on the same page. Despite a minimal amount of confusion at times, we’re still all excited to produce work.
