This week I had to focus on my other projects, as well as my health, so I only got three things done for Unit 1:
(1) I scripted the gaze interaction for my meditative beach, now the whales in the scene respond to the gaze and dive. I will try to make more sophisticated animations in the coming weeks, like having certain whales swim around the user when looked at.
(2) I started rigging my AR phantom arm. This was my first time 3D modeling and rigging, so it has taken longer than I expected. I am still not done, but once the animations are in place, setting up the actual program via Vuforia and Unity only takes a couple of hours.
(3) Sewed in some conductive thread in my breath belt and confirmed we were getting some values. My next step will be to connect the Arduino board to this simple circuit.
