Brief Discussion of the discussion

This is the second meeting for this week and what we discussed today was to what is the present situation of the project what it should be like in future. Here Chandana sir explained us some important points that should be illustrated within the content of Design document. Following are some of them.

• In the scope of our project how we are planning to attach the user in the virtual environment in physical sense compared to the other system in which the user is detached.

• How we are going to give the immersive feeling to the user in a constrained environment such as a forest, park or a aqua world

• What are the actions a user can do based on that constrained environment he is in.

• Within our system how environment talks to the user with or without a user talks to the environment while in other systems environment talks only when user talks to the environment And for the things we have to carry in advance he asked us to

• Define set of environments and think on how to construct those environments

• Think on how and when to talk to the user by the environment Chandana sir also said in answering to the question raised by Thusitha that since this is a real time system there may be things process level parallelism and system level parallelism(modules working concurrently) for sure from the technical aspect to achieve the targets of the proposed system. The very important fact that Chandana sir mentioned was to read trustworthy kind of research papers so that we can improve the writing things in scientific style and learn the previous work people have done regarding those areas of our interest. While reading those research papers we have to abstract the varieties approaches they have followed and check whether those can be applied to our project based on the requirements. Among those range of varieties of approaches sometimes we can use them as it is or sometimes with some modifications being added.
