Outcome

Enabling the high expertise of Computools's engineers in creating virtual reality-based software, the finished application fully meets the high requirements and standards of the industry. The application has been distributed in educational institutions, which allowed the client to increase profits and customer loyalty.

Several key options we solved:

Introduced strict control from the teacher's desktop application.
Implemented the ability to use standard and 360-degree videos.
Developed the UX design for the desktop application.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The main idea of the project is to create VR educational classrooms. Computools's experts developed a software kit that allows using of VR materials for Classrooms.

It consists of two separate parts: for teachers and for students. The Desktop application is designed for the teacher. It has options to select one of the materials available on the Oculus Go side application and control every state, like play, pause, stop, timeline, backward, forward, select different 360-degree videos, or using classic videos. Oculus Go application side is an application in headset controlled by the Desktop application, that shows video fragments selected by the teacher.

This application removes the problem of explaining complex things through simple and clear visualization in the VR environment.

The classroom had to be equipped with Oculus Go/Quest for every student

Wi-Fi access is required for the classroom

The classroom has to be fulfilled with video materials specific for VR and specific for their learning path

Full teacher control

Strong secure system (without teacher’s desktop nothing will work on the Oculus side so it’s work only in the classroom)

100% Engaging of students in the process

Communication

From the very beginning, Skype and email were chosen for communication as the most convenient way to exchange information. The created communication framework made it possible to timely resolve issues, hold scrum meetings, and discussions on the project.

Business Process Mapping

Consult

A thorough study of the goals of the client and all stakeholders allows to more accurately determine the tasks of the project. Consulting includes extensive work on the study of similar projects, existing solutions, competitors. The data obtained are also used to identify possible obstacles and find a solution for them, and to calculate risks.

Design

The design of the project consists of building a high-level architecture, which includes the study of ready-made solutions, the selection of a technological stack, the creation of a specification, the building of an interactive prototype, and the distribution of roles. This allows to reduce development time because most of the changes can be made at this stage.

ENGINEER

Project engineering begins with team building. Since the roles and necessary specialists have already been identified, the employees most suitable for this project are selected from the talent pool. The next step after the intro-meeting, the choice of methodology, and the distribution of tasks. Depending on the selected framework, the development process is divided into segments. Testing is mandatory for each methodology.

Interactive Prototype

The prototype of the project is a powerful developer tool, which opens up wide opportunities for studying its functionality. This allows to check the effectiveness of the implemented options and add new ones, if necessary. Possible errors or flaws in the usability of the original idea can also be seen with the help of a prototype.
