Summary
This week, we have integrated largely all of the motions we planned for XRcise. Our motions were already functional in most situations, but we spent a lot of time cleaning up edge cases that the average user could realistically trigger. In addition to finalizing motions, we focused heavily on revamping the application’s workflow through the addition of a menu interface and combining all of the motion detection features into one build. In pursuit of this, we have created a new Exercise Detector base script that will help us organize all the motion detection features we have written in different branches. It currently supports knee drives, jumping jacks, and squatting detection. Additionally, we have made progress in replacing the current input handler-based UX workflow with a game menu. We have also improved user-asset interaction by allowing users to squat down trees, punch watermelons (soon to be replaced with coconuts), and call over helicopters with jumping jacks in a manner that invites more variety.
What each team member worked on
May:
- Improved punching detection by incorporating headset view.
- Integrated watermelon (coconut) assets, which allowed users to punch them.
- Helped migrate all of the motions into one build.
Michelle:
- Began working on creating a tutorial page
- Continued working on the game menu, incorporating a “start game” button that replaces the current input handler that starts the game.
- Helped migrate all of the motions into one build.
Abas:
- Finalized squatting detection.
- Implemented a squatting challenge where the user can climb down a tree by doing x squats in y seconds.
- Continued work on user statistics tracking.
Aaron:
- Finalized knee drive motion.
- Incorporated jumping jacks, knee drives, and squats into one build through the exercise detector base class.
New features/functionality implemented
- Finalized all motions.
- Combined jumping jacks, knee drives, and squats all into one build/branch through the exercise detector base class.
- Added game menu.
