Meetup 2022 01 28
We welcomed first-time joiners in this session and continued working on personal projects. As XR technologies and gaming are often related, we discussed games and user experience.
We also talked about NFTs (Non-fungible tokens), which is an emerging trend for monetizing gaming, art, digital design, etc., backed up with blockchain technologies.
Jay joined us for the first time, and she quickly set up and started exploring the Unity engine. She also started looking into the Unity Learn pathway. It was a productive time getting ready for her study. We are looking forward to seeing her progress in the future!
Lily is very motivated to continue building her C# and Unity skills. One of her latest projects is implementing a Roll-a-ball game in Unity. Practice is key when you are learning to program in a new language. We hope to see and play her game in the future!
She shared her interest in NFTs and games that explore this new concept. Check out the links below:
Maria’s focus this time was on studying Universal Rendering Pipelines, which provides friendly workflows to help developers create optimized graphics. She was experimenting with different lighting effects for her future project.
Her background as a front-end engineer and love for painting has come up very handy for designing 3D scenes in Unity. In the image below, she was testing baked illumination, by creating a lightmap object that simulates a source of light inside the cube.

Patricia continued working on a 30-day challenge (until February 1st) to learn and experiment with the Mixed Reality Toolkit from Microsoft and integrate Azure Services to power Mixed Reality experiences.
The project she liked the most was integrating Azure Speech Services (speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and speech translation).
She also integrated the Language understanding service (LUIS) to implement voice command and user intent recognition for human-friendly interaction with the application.

It was a very productive and enjoyable session for all of us!

Keep on learning!
