Looked at research papers, videos, and other online resources to gain inspiration on possible ideas to conduct for our AR capstone project. Also worked on individual assignments to gain a better grasp of WebXR.

Updates on Code
We haven't started programming our project just yet. However, we did get our team's website up and running by enabling GitHub pages and uploading our code to our team's repository.
Updates on Ideas
We had a great brainstorm session! We listed a total of 15 distinct ideas. and within each idea, we expanded upon it with 1-2 sub-bullets. We have ideas ranging from using ML to place the most aesthetically pleasing furniture in a space, a recreation of Wii sports, display infographics during a watch party, and many more! With many ideas to consider, we chosed our top 4 choices and sought out our amazing TAs to gain some feedback and insight.
After discussing our idea and much thought and consideration, our team is creating an AR application that allows 2+ people from remote locations to play Poker and socialize.
To start the game, the user will be asked to place down a virtual table. Once the players are in the lobby, they will be seated around the table. Players will be represented by cartoon-style characters that will include their hand, torso, and face. Features such as voice chat will enable facial movement and the ability to customize characters. Controllers in this game will be optional. If controllers are used, they will receive haptic feedback when placing chips or cards. In the case that only hands are used, then the user will be using hand gestures to manipulate cards and chips. We plan to add windows such as game rules and the player's current hand ranking calculation. We also want to incorporate animations into it as well.
On a high level, this is what we hope to accomplish. We may be adding or removing some features as the quarter goes by. We may change our idea completely! But stay tuned to see what we make in 10 weeks!
Plan for Next Week
The plan next week is to start programming our project! As we begin to program, we hope to flush our idea out more and assign everyone a clear mini part of the project to be working on. Also, we will be working on our slide deck for pitch day next Tuesday!
Blocking Issues
So far we haven't ran into any issues yet.
