Planns to improve this repo

---

What worked & what didn't:

Ideas for improvement:

• better & simpler live collaborative workflow than repl.its or github
  • develop & export assets and scenes from vr (with no need for a terminal)
  • a-painter, google blocks
• have challenges ready for each step
  • "if you don't know what to do, try this ..."
  • scenes to replicate (without inspecting)
  • challenges to keep fast people interested within each step's constraints
• create more and simpler examples
  • organize them in a vr-navigable memory palace
  • host them on gh-pages? replit? other?
• think sooner about interactions
  • what is easy & what is hard
  • what can be found, what needs to be custom
  • plan them intentionally, not for their own sake
• find a way to keep resources, examples, and instructions always one-two clicks away
• keep a curated list of community components and re-usable pieces
• include blender, or some alternative
  • more complete experience
  • more efficient scenes
  • greater possibilities with less frustration
• improve the teamwork
  • ensure that all the members of a team know what are the other members working on
  • (suggestion) give to members a sticker so they could write their names and (profile or what they want to learn/practice more) and stick it on their shirts

Improved steps: create & save a finished demo for each

1. VR, storytelling & UX
   1. Learning Objectives
      • Be aware of possibilities & limitations
      • Storyboards for simple & clear scenarios
      • Learn roles on a team & how to share work
        • sounds
        • assets
        • ambiance
        • interactions
        • ... and figure out how to separate & distribute these
      • Choose a team and project to stick with for all steps
   2. Constraints
      • No computers
      • One-sentence scenarios
2. Aframe workflow and scene
   1. Learning Objectives
      • Aframe inspector
      • Repl.it (or alternative)
      • navigating the docs
