FEATURED POSTS

This was the original poster used for the professional review night

My STEAM Professional Review Slideshow

The video below was posted in order to create excitement for my project at the STEAM Expo

The final expo poster that helped bring attention to my stand!

TIMELINE

The Glass era

The very first Idea was to make a type of glass that would brighten up in the dark much like glass that we already have that lowers brightness. This however was scrapped because we gathered that it wouldn't be possible in the way that was needed at least in a physical sense.

The Slideshow era

The second Idea was to create a slideshow consisting of photoshopped pictures detailing all of the key features of the vehicle with a 3D printed model of the car to coincide with the digital aspect. This too however was also scrapped.

The VR Era

Finally, we stumbled on the idea of creating a virtual reality experience that demonstrated the featured I desired to create in reality but couldn't for practical reasons. This idea is the one that was finally realized as my final project.

Prototype 1

Proto 1 was the demonstration part that was limited to the actual computer and had to be viewed on a screen

Prototype 2

For proto 2 I first converted the previous presentation to the Oculus Quest 2 and constructed a box for the shape ID to be done (figure 2). But the box was quickly scrapped in place of an open room idea switching the simple shapes for full humans (figure 1).

STEAM Expo

The STEAM expo was the culmination of all six months of work and was the final milestone in the STEAM journey. If you ask me, I'd say it went very well for me and my project it attracted plenty of visitors and roped them in with the promise of a unique experience only found at my table, but this was not entirely true as there were other Oculus's at the expo, but this didn't seem to affect my numbers as I rarely had a quiet moment.

Contributors

I would like to thank Aaron Barth for helping me with any software issues I had. I would also like to

thank Johnny Rotondo for assisting me in the laser cutting process for my box although it never went anywhere. And most of all I would like to thank Mr. Hunter truly the greatest teacher I've ever had in teaching skills, personality, but most of all for never giving up on me or anyone in always pushing us to do the best work we can do no matter what. I've never had a teacher believe in me through four years of crap from my end and still have the patience to sit down and try to plan for what to do next I only hope to be as patient and helpful in my life. Thank you, Mr. Hunter.
