We asked faculties to choose the version they like most to playtest with. Some of them asked us for recommendation, but the most visual appealing one was the 3D toolbox.<\/div>\n<div class=\"blueprint-inblog-text\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"blueprint-inblog-text\">The result turned out to be people liked the 3D toolbox a lot, at the same time, the 2D palette seems very intuitive and easy to get on board. Although we already added a lot of visual feedback\/indications in the game,\u00a0all the faculty members and guests are constantly asking for more visual feedback. This made us clearly realized how important the visual feedback is in games, especially VR.<\/div>\n<div class=\"blueprint-inblog-text\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"blueprint-inblog-text\">Other than that, we also got feedback afterwards that the control metaphors should stay consistent through each prototype. For example, in the 2D palette UI, if we started with allowing players to interact with the menu with the laser pointer, we should not ask them to design objects which are already on the lot with the tip of that controller diamond.<\/div>\n<div class=\"blueprint-inblog-text\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-428\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/blueprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20170510163719.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1150\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/blueprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20170510163719.png 1150w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/blueprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20170510163719-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/blueprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20170510163719-768x475.png 768w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/blueprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/\u5fae\u4fe1\u622a\u56fe_20170510163719-1024x634.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1150px) 100vw, 1150px\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"blueprint-inblog-text\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"blueprint-inblog-text\">After discussion among the team about our observation and feedback from the faculties, we started to arrange and working on our documentation.
