This project is conducted as a part of
Udacity VR Nanodegree program.
I designed, built and tested VR application
called ‘Puzzling Dungeon’, which consists
of several kind of quizzes. The
application is iterated based on several user tests to
approach completion.
The main purpose of this project is offering
a simple VR Experience to users which
can help them get used to VR Environment.

Persona
Sketches
Here
are 2 types of sketches I draw for the blueprint, and I chose second one.
<Sketch
1. Games with Simon Says game >
<Sketch
2. Similar with the first one, but maze is added for level of difficulty >
User Testing
User Test #1
Based on Sketch, I build Dungeon and
waypoint system for maze part. After that
I conduct first user test, asking
testers to focus on object attribute in game scene.
After test testers pointed out that
waypoint is too big, and moving speed between
waypoints is too fast. Also they said
they can’t see dungeon floor, which is arranged
in wrong position.
Consulting the test result, I move to next development
phase.

<After Fixing Problems>
User Test #2
Based on first user test result, I minimize
waypoints for maze, slow down the
moving speed, and fix the dungeon floor. Also
I implemented Simon says game
logic and orbs for it.
And then I conducted second user test. At this time, I asked tester
to notice every
single opinion about this application.
After the test, fortunately there is no issue on game logic. But some
testers says
that light effect in dungeon is too flat so they are hard to feel
mysterious
atmosphere of dungeon.
So I rebalanced the light parameter in the dungeon and added red
spot light at
center of Simon says game room to emphasize dungeon’s mood.
