Progress Report April

Hello I have begun making animations and a leveling system for Experience Being a Baby. I have also begun making other scenes. If you like to see how long I have come you are very welcome to watch the following video showing my progress.

First road block

I recently had my first road block in Unity 5. There was a problem in Unity 5 with getting stuck while clustering however after some working I have finally fixed it (at leas for now) and now clustering, baking, and building my simulation of Experiencing Being a Baby works again. I am now ready to begin addressing some chances in my prof of concept.  The first thing I will do is to fix the legs on the baby boy so they look normal.

Now I can just hope I wont meet that same problem with Unity 5 again.

Week 17

Hello been doing lot's of homework but have also had time to test Experience Being a Baby with the Oculus Rift DK2 I recently got sponsored by my good parents. It turned out that everything that looks like the right size on a 2D display was way to big scale. Therefore I have been rescaling everything down.

I have a few days a go gotten the prof of concept up on Oculus share. To that end if you want to trie the prof of concept version of my Experience Being a Baby you can download it for free on the following link:

If you don't have an account on Oculus VR you can sign up to one for free on:

I am not completely done rescaling everything to the right scale so I'm happy to hear back what you think is too big or small.

Week nr. 13

Hello I have now added support for the Oculus VR in Experience Being a Baby.

There is still time to give a pledge on my Kickstarter campaign.

You can now have the chance to make a pledge until Wed, April 8 2015 6:57 PM CET. I have chosen to make the pledge time shorter then what is standard to get started on making it work really good for Oculus VR.

Week nr. 11

Hello this is my first week working on my projekt. I have made a proof of concept called Experience Being a Baby. Experience Being a Baby is my first virtual reality projekt aimed for Oculus rift, and Oculus DK2. When the project is done it will be a simulation of how it is to be a baby. The simulation will be aimed for all ages to enjoy.

I have created an animated baby boy and placed him in a child room. Right now in the proof of concept it is possible to look around in this room. When one looks down one will see the animated body, just like it was the body of one own. I have also made a window where one can look outside and see a tree getting affected by the wind.

I have also tested to see if it works on Windows 7 and Mac OS X. It works like a "normal software " however I have not tested it with an Oculus DK2 yet.
