Project Name: Udacity VR Apartment Developer: Russell Alleen-Willems Platform: Google Cardboard Time for Project Completion: 12 hours Build Date: 8/22/2017

Software Versions: GVR Version: 1.0 Unity Version: 5.5.1f1

Description: This Google Cardboard app simulates a small apartment in VR. The project demonstrates the use of VR cameras, 3D models, and lighting techniques optimized for low-power VR devices (e.g. phones).

One Thing I Liked: I had a lot of fun placing the props in the scene and designing a nice virtual environment for myself. I spent the bulk of the dev time just having fun placing furniture and customizing my "VR" apartment.

One Challenge: I had some challenges figuring out how best to adjust the scene lighting. Baked lights appear much brighter than real-time lights of the same intensity and the lighting appears darker when deployed to mobile.
