I cannot believe we are halfway through this program! It’s going by so fast.

Today we did some more work on our deeper dives. We established our problem statement and are going to begin working on designing the application in Unity this afternoon. Coming up with a problem statement has been a bit difficult, since we originally just came up with the idea for fun, but an app can’t be created just because it seems fun. Right now we’re saying that our hiking simulator will allow for participants to be educated on what kinds of plants and animals the participants could expect to encounter while hiking, since the studies we have read don’t mention making a game to get participants involved in the VR environment.

That was extremely wordy.

Basically, we just want to see if engaging the participants more in the environment will make their well-being afterward improve even more.

Anyway, this weekend was fun. We went and got breakfast on Saturday, and then went to the water park and floated down some very fast slides.

Until next time 🙂
