Colby's Final Demo

Overview

For the final demo, the grab and scale activity and the bird migration activity are to be explored. This is a link to the apk files for the demo. Users will have the opportunity to explore both applications and consider their user experience in AR.

Grab and Scale

1. The project contains information/instructions on controller and hand commands and for reference they are here:

   • Controller Commands

     • To move object: Press and hold right or left inside trigger on object, move hands and release buttons at location

     • To scale object: Press and hold right + left inside triggers on object while moving hands together and apart

   • Hand Commands

     • To move object: Place hand over object + grab or pinch, move object and release hold

     • To scale object: Grab object with both hands 

     • Note: For using hands, make sure your controllers are placed flat on the table for the project to recognize you have switched to hands.

2. Grab an object, move it to a new location, scale the object, and try rotating it using your hands or controllers

3. Replicate step 3 with the other two objects and now use your hands or controller if you did not before (try moving the instructions too!)

   • Consider which of the models (based on size or content may work best for grab interaction)
