Background Environment
Main Interactions View background environment. XR No code specific for this experience. Became code for next exploration. Findings/Next Steps We found that a simple grey background environment without a floor suited the work best.
Spherical Open Document
Main Interaction Turn head to view an open document on a curve/spherical. XR https://code.futuretextlab.info/andrew/alpha20724/ Finding/Next Steps Need to test simpler presentations with no curve as well.
PDF in VR with initial Gestures
Main Interaction Pinch to grab and manipulate. XR https://code.futuretextlab.info/andrew/alpha13024/ Specific videos for specific gestures https://3.basecamp.com/4200309/p/S6Y5PxNNEtU8YHWpLsP1D7AJ/vault/7017992981 Finding/Next Steps Too much freedom of movement. We need to experiment to find the right interactions for someone reading one or more documents in this environment.
