We had our first meeting on the Tuesday following the meet up. We met over Teams dues to the trains strikes.
In the meeting we discussed the concept, the ideas and our individual roles in the group.
It was a time to have a discussion of our ideas and formal discuss the topic and the timeline we had.
My role was to model some of the access in the scene and source the assets from a third party. This included:
Mushrooms
Rocks
Monuments
Cars
Donatella created a Miro board where we could write our thoughts and ideas about potential names for the project. I utilised the Miro board to write down three key words that came to our minds when we thought about utopian and dystopian themes.
These were our ideas that we came up with. My one was the pink sticker. From here, we decided to chose “Lost World”. From here we were also able to choose the key word to create a Project description, e.g, “A sublime immersive experience of a dystopian post-apocalyptic environment with fantastical evolved creatures”.
We loved the idea of this being a source of inspiration and something used to describe the project to others.
I felt as though I knew what I was doing after the meeting was concluded. As the project manager, Donatella had clear instructions for all of us and what we needed to be doing next.
I am looking forward to seeing the prototype Neeti comes up with and using a VR headset.

I felt like what I need to do was pretty clear and was looking forward to modelling and improving my skills.
