Global Campus Studio is a collaboration between Canadian (Ryerson University) & UK (LCC) students. Our group created “Momento”, an App that centres on virtual collaborative space and platform for the performance art of dance that offer interdisciplinary resources and networking opportunities for dancers impacted by COVID-19. This program will incorporate dance instruction with a creative interface that has components of VR, 3D animation and other visual elements.
Being a VR student, my assignment was to think and try to create an AR/VR experience regarding the App. My idea was to create an ar or vr video tutorial for the users. The teacher could upload on his/her profile a prerecorded ar/vr video of a specific lesson, letting the students rewatch the class slowly and giving them the possibility to pause the video or send it back in case they did not fully understand the steps.
WEEK 4
During week four in “Introduction to virtual reality” we learnt the basics of character design and how to animate 3D models. I applied what I leant during the week on Momento and did a short clip of a possible VR dance tutorial.
steps:
- Imported a new skybox and texture to create a simple scenario
- created a character on MakeHuman and downloaded dance animations from Mixamo
- made a transition between two dance motions and animated the character
- made a screen recording of the full dance
I also created the Logo and designed the App’s interface, applying my highschool studies in design:
