CANCER CELL VIRTUALIZATION: USC COLLABORATION

The purpose of the Cancer Cell Virtualization: USC Collaboration is to give oncologists and students at USC a chance to interact with a cancer cell through virtual reality.

Project Members: Will, Jesse, Avery, Kai, and Cameron 

Location of Assets:
1. Go to desktop
2. Open Unity 3D 5.6.1+
3. In projects menu, go to “cancer cell project”
4. Once Unity opens, and VR device is connected, go to “project setting”
5. Then sub-menu “player”
6. Check the box “virtual reality enabled”
7. Click the point button on the top of the Unity editor

We tried to export the project into Android, so we will be able to share the Cancer Cell with USC

Currently the proper SDK’s are downloaded and the main issue is getting them to cooperate with Unity. More specifically, Unity was looking for the SDK’s in the wrong file path. Kai is working on fixing this now. We are using Android studio as our upload platform and will soon make the application available on the PlayStore. There is a folder underneath SDK Android named Sdk that contains all SDK material. We still have to redirect unity to the correct file path.

We again worked on adjusting the lighting on the cancer cell in Unity. We then finished working on creating the logo for AR/VR Research. Lastly we worked on coordinating the WISRD’s Research pages.

We worked on getting the camera and lighting in the vein to view the right area. We downloaded music to put it into the application, then tested it out with the Oculus. Started working on the actual cancer cell in Fusion 360.
