Who I worked with:
I worked with Ashleigh, and Andrew.
What we wanted to achieve:
We wanted to create a calming scene so that the user would feel at peace when using our VR scene. We did this by making it a scene of the beach.
How we did it:
While making our V.R goggles, we decided that we didn't want to do the poor man's VR goggles, and create our own from scratch. We had a basic idea of how we were going to make our VR goggles different from everyone else's. We started a little late on our VR goggles so all the good pieces of cardboard were taken. So instead of making our VR goggles out of just a piece of cardboard, we decided to make the VR goggles out of a whole box of cardboard. We took an amazon box and decided to make the whole box into a VR goggles. So we cut the sides off so that we could use it for another piece of the box. We were going to cover the VR goggles with black duct tape so that inside of the VR goggles would be dark enough to see the VR scene without any distracting light. We then added two handles on the side of the box so that the user could hold it because the box was larger than the poor man's goggles. We put our own make shift pieces in the box so it could hold up the phone inside the goggles. We then cut out two eye holes that I would place the biconvex lenses in. Before placing the biconvex lenses in the holes Andrew and I sprayed the box with red spray paint, we did this because we were out of black duct tape and so painting the box red was a substitute that did the same thing. We then taped the lenses into the box so that it would make the VR scene look real. We had to double up the lenses changing them from convex lenses to biconvex lenses so that we wouldn't get double vision. We put Andrew's phone inside the VR goggles and tried them out and they worked great.

Creating the VR scene
Our group made a Virtual Reality panorama for our VR goggles. We went to the bay to capture a panorama of the beach. We hoped that the scene would make the users feel at peace and to relieve some stress that the user may have.
