Inspiration
The method of loci to be able to remember anything better
What it does
It should help the user memorizing things by letting them build their own virtual memory palace. Especially in VR we imagine it to be a awesome experience
How we built it
We've used Unity Engine to build this idea
Challenges we ran into
It was our first time ever using Unity, ohhh did we run into a lot of problems. From Unity not supporting the Valve Index natively to placing objects or some weird Unity behavior at the beginning, I swear it was it was Unity ;) Also I didn't have intellisense for one and a half day... Imagine writing code without auto completion, reading docs all the time, sometimes just to know how a property name is written xD Also version control with unity... we merged by hand just because we didn't want to spend to much time on learning how it's done correctly
Accomplishments that we're proud of
It was the first time we've worked together in a hackathon, we had good ideas and implemented rudimentary forms of them, but there is still so much more to come
What we learned
A LOT. We had a great time working as a team for the first time and really could help each other out most of the times. Unity is fun too^^
What's next for Palace of Thought - A Place to fill your void
WOW we are looking forward to improve the project further and eventually integrate VR!!! But first of all after all this hacking, we really need to clean up the mess and refactor a lot, before we continue our journey. But definitely we will continue to work on it! a yeah and version control will come :D
