KJ method in VR

Prototype to do KJ method in VR prototyped for Oculus Go in 2018 (VRGROUP) https://youtu.be/jqJoju1gjWw

• 2018-06-25 Automatic slide movement
  • Improved physics
    • Draw near and read.
  • Perspectives on two infospaces
  • Grouping of slides 20180809

2018-10-29 Summary at this time as we have decided to put the project on hold for now.

• I can’t control things with the precision I expect.
  • When using a laser pointer to manipulate objects with a hand floating in the air, because of the shaking of the hand
  • Frustration at not being able to place visible sticky notes where you expect them to be
  • Especially regarding the grouping UI.
    • Surrounding” is difficult.
    • I made the choice based on distance, but it’s also rather difficult (hand tremor).
• Speeds were not as high as expected.
  • As for the slides, maybe it’s because I have over 100 stickies each with textures of a resolution that can be enlarged and read.
    • Should I keep the smaller texture until I zoom in and then replace it with a larger one?
  • Is it physics-heavy?
    • I’ve implemented it in a secondary way to speed up the process.
  • Should be confirmed by not texturing and taking a profile, etc.
• Web content was difficult to display
  • I thought it would be easy to use Embedded Browser, but it does not support VR.
• Difficulty in making nameplates
  • Difficulty in creating a new nameplate sticky note in VR space, with no keyboard input and very difficult handwriting
  • The most important part of the KJ method cannot be realized.
  • Time may tell if the Oculus Go can’t input Japanese from the keyboard.
• Loading content from Scrapbox
  • I hoped to be able to do this in the future.
  • It would be interesting to automate the process with regard to placement: “When you load your Scrapbox project, it will create a map in VR space.”
  • But if you can’t view the web content, you can’t see the page content after all.
• Distribution difficulties
  • If you don’t meet the requirement of 60+ FPS, you can’t even distribute the beta in the first place.
