This has been a particular challenge this week, as Michael and Jeremy begin to build an entirely new network that we will rely on for the duration of the semester. This particular task has represented an issue for our team because Michael, our lead programmer (and also our only dedicated programmer), is mostly unfamiliar with network coding. However, Michael and Jeremy have pushed through and are set to deliver a finished, basic networked prototype, in which one user can see another user in the same space, in the SocialVR application.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>For Team:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>We have done the branding for ourselves! We did different versions of posters and try to find one fitting our project the best, and now a brand new poster and logo for our project has been\u00a0born. The designer for it is Erika Lee. However, we are still doing refinement to our branding, and the final works will be shown on next Monday in ETC. Thanks to the hard work from\u00a0other designers: Xin Tu and Jiaxin Wen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-377\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/posters-216x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/posters-216x300.jpg 216w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/posters-768x1067.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/posters-737x1024.jpg 737w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/posters.jpg 988w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><em>Selections of Posters\u00a0<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-378\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-1-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-1-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-1-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-1.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6><em>Selections of Logos<\/em><\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-380\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/poster_logoside-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"321\" height=\"362\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-379\" src=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-01-1-300x169.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"393\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-01-1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-01-1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-01-1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/projects-old.etc.cmu.edu\/intouch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/logo-01-1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 393px) 100vw, 393px\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>Final version of poster and logo<\/h6>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>FOR NEXT WEEK:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deliver 3 ideas to Ali and Aparna<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Develop playtests for different instances or shared screens<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michael\/Jeremy:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agreed by Monday to have visual network done<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Erika:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Iterated final poster<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jiaxin:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blog post, assist with poster<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xin:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assist with poster<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<pre style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In week 3, we have done 2 main aspects of work.
