Pod Testing Session Notes

1-22-24

Dev menu

Y rotation off

Arctic

Lower the sun

Adjust the sound (too loud)

Ice breaking sound effect more often

Adjust ice parallax

Desks not showing up

Ice hold indicator

Polar bear movement - too fast, drag feet? Research polar bear walk cycle

ROV experience

Update placeholder assets

Data is not updating the correct map

ROV only works in first desk

Adjust sensitivity of track pad (shouldn’t have to reach so far to move)

Flip the hand

Confusing on map orientation based on seating position

ROV started underneath desk

Make ice thicker?

Still a drift on ROV when hand is removed

Update ice drilling animation

New grolar bear model

Move narluga more central on the ice

Under ice

Seating arrangement

3 different views (server view different) - look at unity project

Server is correct view currently

Ice thickness more pronounced

Remove flat edge on side of iceberg

Algae on underside of ice corresponding to light luminance

Light shines through

Potentially more light? - match pod lighting in coral reef (light gets flicked on)

CPO

Slow down globe

Seating issue - turned the wrong way

Bleached Coral

Scale down

Add more grain and color variance to sound

Magnifying glass activity looks good for now

Coral

Seating incorrect

Scale

Sand

Light transition

Light peeking through

Replanting

Sand

Seating

Coral selection - revisit on next test

Instructor crashes at coral selection scene

Line pointer

2-27-24

Arctic

Rov needs to be slowed down (submerging animation)

The quadrants that are being mapped do not match up - it is relative to the instructor (instructors need to address the orientation of the flow and where they’re standing)

Controls for scanning the ice flow are off the desk

Crack by instructor foot - don’t want to step on it, but instructor can add to the narrative

Difficulty steering - Would there be a way to point at the screen instead of on the track pad? Could we project onto the piece of ice?

Values - currently placeholder values

Trackpad - hand is placed in middle of the trackpad and can get all of the quadrants and change speed

Can narluga swim through instead of on top?

New UI will improve experience

CPO

Globe is offset

need a beat between overview and coral selection experience

fix next arrow on desk to go to the next experience

update sizing and position of modals

Coral

Likes the interface - what Stephanie was picturing for the arctic initially

Steering the ROV through joystick

difficult to find third one (subtle color?)

Audio a little loud?

reality check info modal needs to be longer

Need Robin and Greg to provide input of where to place ___

Faculty: use of right or left hand?

Indicator for next button in coral activity

Add ceramic plugs below the coral fragments

Magnifying glass - bug with image, data is changing

Coral is not planting - unable to find red algae because image is not updating

status info models towards the end are hidden behind microfragmentation

change direction of magnifying glass for planting

Investigate Microfragmentation sound effects (too loud)

audio mixer issue?

spatial blend issue?

Audio of yourself - implementation?

3-14-24

Session 1 (Walter + DSL team)

Feedback

Loved instructor cam

Liked the trackpad

Does a joystick make more sense for coral reef replanting?

SDK 8

5-6 weeks for migration

Moving ROV - different POV?

Top down ROV in coral reef experience?

Static map - can the map move along with you?

Is there a version of this that can be post-synchronous? Pre-recorded? AI?

CPO - made sense of purpose of experience

“This place is a hub of information that takes you to deal with the issues that we are having” - Walter to share Will’s video - shows narrative energy to provide urgency/meaning

Globe/screen in CPO - split attention? Cut beat out where globe first sits in front of you?

Showing mean of data vs distribution of data? What if students all get different values and then work together to find mean?

Course integration

Display how the ecosystem underneath the ice is impacted

Coral - real life example of micro fragmentation process

Narluga and grolar bear - show images of what they currently look like / arrange map to show crossover animal

Narrative (Peter and Stephanie) - pose this after a problem solver (fixing the bleached coral)

Script for recording

Trigger a more emotional narrative

How do we make this less of an exercise (being taught) vs being the researcher?

POC of a scripted version (recorded version)

Avatar voice to show people (marketing) - great opportunity

AI - the earth speaking to us

Dramatic intro that drives me into the activity

Material lends itself to well to an asynchronous experience

Session 2

Turning around the ROV (Kendall)

What if a student has a headset? Is standalone the future?

This production was built to transfer over to a quest 2

Can there be an option to do this asynchronously with students' own headset?

No motion sickness for first timers

More engaging than a typical classroom

How can AI fit into this?

Sounds on arctic to match coral

Hawaii with apostrophe
