Yueqian decorated and finalized the scene and worked on the poster and demo video; Kyle created the presentation slides and modified option menu based on the change from other teammate and wrote this weekly snippet; Apollo worked on multiplayer synchronization and general bug fixes.

Yueqian improved the scene setup and added brush functionalities; Kyle added instructions and reorganized the options menu; and Apollo worked on file importation, multiplayer and general bug fixes, and the weekly snippet you are reading right now.

This week we kept working on the milestones and we received many valuable feedbacks from peers that we will address as well.

Thanks every team that provided helpful feedback! This week is a challenging design and transition week for us where we reconsidered and iterated design choices, and are ready to move to new implementations next week! For example, we have collected many feedbacks and realized that our multiplayer feature is currently not very natural, which is something we need to quickly fix. Moreover, we will also connect our 3D generators with preFabs like desks or whiteboards to make sure that we could generate all those items as some options for users to customize their space and also enable brushes on some special shapes. Some shapes will also be assistant with the file transfer where we will allow users to write on a file. This might also lead to the development of some advanced color picker where users could pick different color and opacity values to draw and highlight.

We released our MVP on Tuesday, received feedbacks on Thursday through in-class testing, and continued working towards the target goal according to plan.

Team members work on their milestone towards the MVP next week.

We have got individual functions work this week!

Members of team 8 have finalized the details about the project. We finished the project pitch and PRD together. Everyone is starting on the implementation.

Members of team 8 first meet each other, brainstormed what we want to do together, and settled on building a whiteboard app the bridges the real and virtual world. Apollo set up the website and Kyle added his bio to the team members’ page.
