Milestone 1 (Brainstorming)

        Creating a VR art gallery. What would be different between a normal art gallery and a VR art gallery, and what is really considered art? What type of art do we want to include. We think that art is very subjective so we decided to really spread out our ideas to be all sorts of different things. Here are some of the ideas I came up with and why I thought they would be good ideas...

Visualized Music: 

    Music is such a phenomenal form of art. Imagine a movie or game with no music, it wouldn't be the same. The amount of immersion you can get from music alone is phenomenal, so I think that visualizing music in VR could be one of the most interesting and immersive ways to make an art gallery. It's very different from a normal art gallery as it's visualizing music which you wouldn't really be able to do in general. It's different and it can be beautiful. 


Choose Your Own Adventure Gallery: 

    I think having an art gallery that is somewhat tailored to you could be really cool. This idea mainly revolves around making decisions and that would guide what rooms you end up in. I think this make an art gallery as interesting as possible as it takes people's personalities and change their path based on that.

Art Escape Gallery: 

    Almost everyone loves games and I think mixing the art gallery with a game I think would lead to a very memorable experience. Using this gallery of work, whether it be music or visual art pieces, you use it to escape an art gallery. Knowledge is art as much as anything else, so it combines new knowledge with other forms of art. This could also be really interesting as a group dynamic game and art experience. 

Movie Recreation: 

    I think that movies are a really interesting form of art, mixing together all sorts of things including visuals and audio. Being put inside of that world really makes for an interesting VR experience, and it can combine a lot of different art forms, and be interesting for lots of different people.

 Milestone 2 - Selecting an Idea Hours Spent: 2.5h This week we really wanted to narrow down our ideas from the large list, to maybe a more specific idea that our group as a whole thought was good. Our first step was eliminating all of the ones that nobody was hugely interested in so we held a little vote session where we had three votes each to put into the different ideas and we managed to narrow it down to around five ideas. We had a few choices that we felt were better as modifiers rather than whole ideas, for example the escape room could be combined with a larger idea to really strengthen an idea. The most difficult task was removing ideas we thought were good but just didn't think were plausible or felt a little too vague of an idea.  So this brought us down to even less ideas until we finally settled on one idea that ALL of us had voted for which was that YOU are the art. You create your character and from there we are going to expand on ideas once we get our idea chec...

 Milestone 4 - Getting Started     Hours Spent: 10 hours           To get started this milestone I worked on a lot of things. including the Alpha presentation, really narrowing ideas down with the group. I managed to get a little bit of a jump on getting some information on what the music is going to sound like and how I can go about creating that. We also managed to cast a voice actor to play our singularity, Gea.      First off with the Alpha presentation, creating it went pretty smoothly. We were just finishing up the proposal document, so a lot of the information wasn't new and it was just being transferred over from that, which was pretty easy. Our biggest challenge on that was how many other things we had to finish so we didn't have much time to practice. Luckily for me memorizing scripts isn't too hard, but we didn't have time to practice so it was a bit of a kerfuffle for presenting as a group.      Secon...
