For the second project, my group ultimately decided on creating interactions that occur in our daily lives. The first three interactions that we discussed were turning off an alarm, grabbing a coffee cup, and turning on the light. After some discussion, we landed on the theme of actions we do in the morning.
At first, we wanted to have the user wake up in bed and then turn off an alarm. However, after discussing this with Sarah we realized that it would require a lot of work as we would need to align the height difference and have props. We scratched that idea and went for interactions that we would do while standing. These then included opening the door (after you get out of bed), turning on the light (since it’s dark outside), and pouring coffee into a cup.
The story proceeds in this manner: the user first notices the door and we visually cue the user to open the door via the handle, then the user is in a darkroom with the light switch on the side of the wall, and lastly the lights on and the user heads towards the coffee machine to grab a cup of coffee.

Due to COVID-19, our plans for the project had to change. However, our core interaction still remained the same: to turn on/off a light switch. Ganjina finished up most of the indoor decoration and I worked primarily on the script that would turn on and off the lights. At first, I couldn’t get the onTriggerEnter to work, but Sarah helped me out there. Ultimately, I got the light switch to work and I designated the light source as sun for now.
