Flocking creatures with avoidance

Each creature as a “Radar” which pings an area using Physics.OverlapSphere to check for game objects that has a “DetectableObject” component within a radius.

A diagram of hardware components. Regarding to the computers running the project, there may also be a possibility to run most of it on the tower in the lab to avoid too much data transfer.

A rough sketch of what a running scene of the installation may look like.

Many thanks to Graham, we will be able to set up our project in his new lab space. The tower and two projectors in the lab are available for our use, and we are on our way to get a projection mirror for the floor projection.

Here is an tester image that we put up to see the size relationship between objects in the projected image on the wall and people in the space. This gives us a better understanding of what’s the ratio between us and objects in the virtual world, and also of the camera angles (pointing at the virtual world) that we may want to test with.

OSC Test

Using Unity OSC, we ran tests to send and receive between Unity standalone builds of MacOS / Windows / Android (all the various combinations that we may need)

Tree sketches

This week we are focusing on aesthetics. I am tackling the environment. My first challenge were the Trees. As mushrooms and fungus are one of our inspirations , my “tree” designs tend to more fungus like.

Next step is to model and texture a few of the trees.
