You're facing technical constraints on a VR platform. How do you mold your creative ideas to fit?

In my experience, - Before tackling issues, it's crucial to grasp the technical constraints of your VR platform. Analyze hardware specs, including processing power, memory, and graphics capabilities. - Understanding these boundaries allows you to modify or simplify your creative ideas appropriately. - Think of it as knowing the shapes and sizes of building blocks before constructing your masterpiece. - This foresight helps in setting realistic goals and expectations, ensuring your VR project remains feasible and within the platform's capabilities.

Todo tiene limites y hay que tenerlos claro a la hora de desarrollar en VR. Yo recomiendo usar dispositivos que no requieran ordenador para funciona, como los Oculus Quest 2 o Meta Quest 3. Hay que saber que estos dispositivos usan Android y si no estamos familiarizados con esta compilación, bueno tendremos que adaptarnos o requerir a un experto. Yo recomiendo usar un motor como Unity para empezar a experimentar y entender como funciona la realidad virtual.

Solemos enamorarnos tanto de nuestras ideas que llegamos a no ver los errores. Otra cosa que pasa es que intentamos hacer todo lo pensado la primera vez que lo hacemos y le sumamos tantas cosas que resulta inviable el proyecto. Recomiendo siempre sintetizar todo lo que queremos hacer y empezar haciendo una demo. Con esto vamos a tener más en claro el camino que hay que seguir.

One thing that I found helpful is to utilize optimisation techniques for 3D models, textures, and animations to ensure optimal performance within the budget. Consider using pre-made assets or open-source resources where appropriate. Utilize affordable VR development tools and platforms that offer high-quality features and performance within a limited budget. Being a technologist I feel a strong need of Optimization tools, which works on the level of assets and procedural level. These “intuitive optimization tools” should be an integral part of the VR Development Tool or even it could be a third party plug-ins. That optimiser will work on diverse kinds of VR projects in order to fulfil the need of a customised VR solution.

Identify unique features or capabilities that the platform excels in and tailor your ideas to leverage these strengths. This approach can help create a more engaging and immersive experience while working within technical limitations.

Collaboration can lead to discovering new techniques and optimizations that you might not have considered. Involving the technical team early in the creative process ensures that ideas are both innovative and technically feasible.

Generalmente vamos a trabajar con diseñadores 3D y programadores. No por eso solo nos concentremos en sus funciones, en reuniones se empieza a ver quienes tienen más habilidades y dan buenas ideas, recuerda premiar las ideas y que esto ayuda a que se sientan parte del proyecto.
