VR Application Presentation

Each student needs to give a slide presentation with a video on a VR or AR app for any VR or AR system (including Oculus Quest, Rift, HTC Vive, Google Daydream, Oculus Go, etc.). You need to have the VR headset the app requires so that you can try it out yourself.

There are two steps to the presentation:

1) Scheduling: You need to enter your name into the App Presentations scheduling table on Canvas under "Pages", for the date you want to do your presentation on. The deadline for scheduling is Sunday, April 17th 2022. You can enter or change your app and its URL at any time after this deadline. You can also change the date later on, as long as time slots are available.

2) Presentation: On the day of your presentation you need to give your presentation in person during the lecture. By that time you also need to have filled in your app's name and URL. Your presentation needs to consist of slides (Google Slides, Powerpoint, Keynote, etc) as well as a self-recorded video of your app while you use it in your VR headset. Your presentation should take 10-15 minutes to present, plus a short Q&A.

Grading

The score of your presentation consists of the following components:

• Timely scheduling of presentation date on Canvas: 5%
• Relevance of the video for the topic of the course (VR technology): 15%
• Your level of preparedness for the presentation: 20%
• The quality of your slides, video and presentation: 40%
• Your ability to answer questions from class and instructor about your presentation (Q&A): 20%

Suggestions For Things to Address in the Presentation

• What does the app do?
• Why did you choose it?
• Who made the app?
• Why was it made? What is its purpose?
• What platforms does it run on? (e.g., Android, Iphone, Oculus Quest)
• What do you like about the app?
• What don't you like about the app?
• What could the app developers have done better?

Helpful Tips

• You can find VR apps in the Oculus or Steam store, or for smart phone apps try the Google Play Store or Apple's App Store by searching for keywords such as VR, AR, virtual reality, augmented reality, Google Cardboard, etc.
• To record video off an Oculus Quest 1 or 2, you will find instructions here.
• If you use a PC VR headset, we recommend using Zoom with its built-in recording abilities (share your screen with it) to record the app's video. Alternatively:
  • Windows 10 has a built-in screen recorder. If that doesn't work, the free OBS Studio is very good.
  • On Macs you can use Quicktime.
• On Iphones screen recording should be very easy.
• You can find screen recorders for Android by searching the web or your app store for key words such as "android apps for screen recording". Use one that does not require rooting your phone, and you don't need to pay for it - there should be free options but they may come with watermarks (which is acceptable).
  • Samsung Galaxy phones with the Game Tools feature have a built-in screen recording mode that is disabled by default. Find out here how to enable and use it.
  • The Mobizen Screen Recorder app should work on any Android phone.
  • The video can have its own audio track, and/or you can choose to talk over it during the presentation.
