This has been a somewhat frustrating week. I feel like I should have accomplished way more than I actually have. I met with the non-profit that I am working to support through Smoky Mountain VR to catch them up on the excitement from Launch Pad. I came back with big dreams and big plans and sort of felt like the non-profit somewhat squashed those dreams a little. I talked about my plans of making Smoky Mountain VR and fully interactive educational app to go along with the 360 video content I've been capturing. I also told them about my vision of one day being able to captured 3D video rather than the 2D video that I'm currently capturing. The feedback I got from the non-profit on my ideas was both good and bad. The director told me that I needed to realize that I've just come back from tech heaven and from being around highly creative people and that currently people here are still highly impressed with just the 2D content that I'm capturing with my camera rig. I'm really excited that people are loving the content that I'm creating, but that doesn't mean I am willing to just stop where I am. But it sounds to me that they don't have the confidence that they will be able to help me find the funding for the big picture project I have in mind.
That just means that I'm going to keep chugging along. I didn't make any development progress in week 2 so week 3 is going to be spent in Unity3D. I'm going to work to finish out the video player menu system that my husband started working on before Launch Pad. I just need to get hyper focused this week.
