For this project, Junior, Claire, and I decided to play around the everyday theme of having to find your glasses. Coincidentally, all three of us have bad eyesight and so we either wear glasses or contact lenses. We shared our experience of how we struggle to find our glasses, especially in the mornings, as we tend to forget where we placed our glasses the night before.
We decided to choose the bathroom as our location and include a bathtub, a toilet, sink, bathroom shelf, a towel hanger and towels. We had originally planned to place different objects, but after placing some objects, figuring out each of the positions, and removing some objects according to the overall balance, we decided to settle down with the current bathroom setting. We also added the hanging light as our light source.
Claire and I were in charge of creating the bathroom setting, matching the virtual space to the actual available space in the classroom, placing the four glasses in different places, and making sure that the user felt that he/she was in a bathroom trying to find his/her glasses.
For our next steps, we need to add the different functions of the four glasses in order to make it interactive. Each of the four glasses will have different functions – whether they are zooming in, zooming out, different colored tints, and the corrected vision. Although we understand that the blurry vision will cause nausea for the user and may not be suitable for long use, we will play around the degree of blurriness to see how we can make it work.
