Senior Design 2018-2019 Year in Review
NET tasked our team to develop a project using Unity3D and C#. The project was to mimic
the website experience that they had already developed. The core challenge that our team had to overcome was the lack of knowledge with Unity3D and C#. This led to extra time learning the needed skills and knowledge to effectively develop the project. Once we were somewhat familiar with Unity3D, we found ourselves constantly restructuring our project for increased optimization which set us back in some of our later features.
Another large task was the implementation
of NET’s server information into Unity3D. The process involves pulling HTML data from the servers of NET and parsing them into something usable to Unity3D. The idea is to render the HTML and convert it to an image format, which is easily usable by Unity3D and it’s tools.
Another part, but just as important, was
the mobile version of the project. Again,
the team lacked valuable resources and knowledge in mobile development. This led to slow development times and backtracking. The mobile version of our project was very important because schools require cost effective ways to distribute the vr experience.
