Project 1 Documentation

This first project consists of two Cubes with target images detected by your camera which will display several features created in Unity. When download and opened correctly in Unity, press the "play" button on the top of the Unity project to start running the project. Both of these cubes will both have simliar things including a Magic 8-Ball with text that changes when the cube is flipped, the display name of a geographic location with the temperature and weather conditions, and several models relating to the displayed geographic location. The difference between the two cubes is the geographic location with its related models and the Magic 8-Ball sayings.

Explaination for models/sounds

The MergeCube is based in Kyoto Japan, where Nintendo was founded. Choosing this theme gave me a wide range of ideas of models and audio to create and choose. Nintendo is already as big as it in America, but the country that founded Nintendo is defintely more integrated with all their creations and is a big part of their country. With a Nintendo theme I chose things all relating to Nintendo games in some format. With this theme I decided to choose assets from their most iconic games made by Nintendo. I decided to add models including the Hylian shield from Zelda, the pokeball from pokemon, and the question block from mario games as these are all well known items in Nintendo games. One of Nintendo's best games of all time is Super Smash Bros. Therefore, I was inspired to make a model relating to the game with the classic Super Smash Bros. symbol with a famous line from the game "Challenger approaching!" when you get a chance to unlock a new character. I also made one of my favorite items from Super Smash Bros. called the "Beam Sword", with a purple blade and custom colored grip for each sword to represent it as two different players dueling. All of my models clearly represent iconic items from Nintendo based in Kyoto Japan. The music I chose is from the Wii console's menu theme, which has a nice chill ambient vibe and was made by Nintendo. I chose the whip sound for the Magic 8-Ball as it makes for a good sound effect for a quick change of text.

Explaination for models/sounds/8ball sayings

The ClassCube is based in Phoenix Arizona desert/location theme. The first thing I think of when I think about Airzona is a desert. With this theme I decided to choose things that relate to the desert and things relating to the location itself. I chose things from the web that are iconic in Phoenix Arizona which include oranges, cactuses and it's famous Botanic Garden. All of these models comes from Phoenix Arizona, as they are known for growing oranges, having cactuses, and their popular Botanic Garden. The creation of my models were inspired by my background knowledge of Phoenix Arizona that I've obtained from family living there and personal experience. I know that Phoenix Arizona has some of the best golf courses in the nation as they almost have perfect golfing weather and best rated courses. Phoenix Arizona is also the city tourists stay at and start their drive from before they go to see Horseshoe Bend, a famous national mountuem and very popular tourist spot. All of the models revolve around Phoenix Arizona as a whole on what they have. The sound/music I chose is a representation of the ambient sound you would hear out in the desert with wind blowing and birds making sounds. I chose the whip sound for the Magic 8-Ball as it makes for a good sound effect for a quick change of text.

For the custom Magic 8-Ball sayings for the Classcube, I decided to go with some slang that younger generations use today. Phrases like these are popular with teens and people in their 20s. Some of the positive responces like "No Doubt, answer = yes" and "100% Yes" is just a way of saying yes and assuring the other person. The neutral responces like "I don't know boss" is just a way of saying the person isn't sure while also complimenting the person as a sign of respect by calling them a boss. The negative respones like "Fat L, answer = no" is to signify that what you wanted or asked for is not happening and out of the question. The other negative responces like "Bruh, no way" is a way of signifying a surprised reaction and saying no in responce, "No Shot" just means there is no possiblitly in that happening, and "Sorry fam, but no" is a negative responce as that you want to say the person is your good friend, but the answer is still no.

This video will demonstrate my project 1 using the created Android app. I talk about and display each of the cube's models, audio, location, and Magic 8ball. I also give an explaination on how all of the assets relate back to the original location as well. Click the link here if the video does not work below
