For this week, we have looking whether or not we can use Unity for the reminder of our project with the sensor tiles. Thus far, the prevailing question is how (if we can) use Unity to export Blender files to this software. Plus, there are certain features exclusive to Unity that we may need from it in the coming months.
As for today, we have discovered that in addition to the free version of Unity, we can purchase addons that contain perpetual licenses for use with educational institutions. In addition, we have learned that we can use these add-ons such as the Unity Pro 5.x – Game Development and Visualization – Student/Faculty Perpetual Commercial – Unity Team License Addon to mix and add content to the free version of Unity. This gives many choices on how to proceed with utilizing the software for interaction with our sensor tiles.
The following links will be used as the basis to further our understanding of the Unity in terms of working in conjunction with the sensor tiles as well as become a source of reference for when we need to conduct more research into the inner workings of Unity.
