Introduction

This second project consists of an office space with 2 floors each dedicated to a single phobia with several features created in Unity.

When downloaded/cloned from GitHub and opened correctly using Unity Hub, there are two ways to run the project (depending on the device). Your headset must be connected to your PC/Laptop. The first method (Windows) can be done by switching to the Android platform and clicking "Build" to build/save the apk file in a desired location. You will have to follow some preinstall instructions to get an oculus driver and "ADB" software to sideload the apk file to your Oculus headset from this link here. Once the ADB software is setup, run the command from the website with the path to your apk file and it will install on your headset, which can be run by going to the (Apps > Unknown Sources > Your Project) and clicking your project title. The second method (Mac) can be done by switching to the Android platform and clicking "Build and Run" which will prompt you to save the apk file in a desired location and will automatically start up the project on your headset.

Both of these floors will have similar things including models found throughout the floor, models that you can pick up and throw, models that are interactable that will spawn new objects, models/areas in the map with different sounds, and special lighting to help enchance viewing models. The difference between the two floors is just its respective phobia, the models, sounds, etc. related to that floor.

The phobias we currently have set up in our project are bugs (floor 1) and aliens (floor 2). Both of these floors would help a person work through their phobia by allowing them to be immersed into actually feeling like they are seeing real models related to their phobias, but without it actually being real and causing them physical harm. The user would be able to deal with multiple scenarios of going face to face with a model and seeing that it can't actually do anything to them. The user can go on their own pace to interact with models using their hands, or picking models up like an ant or touching an alien model, which allows the user to eventually get comfortable enough with their own phobia and eventually lose their fear.
