A hidden world_Arduinoland

According to last week, we continue to work on the Arduinoland project. This week, our goal is to enhance the story and improve the feature.

First, we twist the story a little from just a city movement into actions and story around the environment.

“The story begins with a student walks on ITP floor. When Sarah was passing by someone’s physical computing project, she heard a voice calling “Help! Help! Help!” She felt really strange and shock because the voice is pretty close but no one was around her that were seeking help. Soon after, her attention was drawn to an Arduino board. As she walks closer, the sound is louder. She felt really confused and unbelievable. Without thinking, she pulled out her phone. Surprisingly, there’s another tiny world on the other side of the phone. Sarah found out a car couldn’t move forward because of the red light. So, Sarah pressed the Arduino button, then, the light turns green and the car moved! This new discovery makes Sarah looks forward to her AR class next semester.”

During this experiments, me and Alen faced so many technical difficulties.

The most significant one was the communication between Unity and Arduino is very unstable. Up to now, we still couldn’t figure out how to make it work.
