Detailed Design
Before starting the application, there will be a tutorial scene to help users with the controls and how to interact with the environment. Most of the scenes will be taken with a 3D 360 Camera so all the pictures/designs below will naturally be all in 3D panoramic. Once the user completes the tutorial, they will have options/todo list to complete. Users will not have to do it in any order and will be able to select any choices. Each scene/part will have different interactions for users to interact with the environment.
Examples/Designs below are sample to display how the environment and scene will look like for when we actually receive our 3D 360 Camera.
##Color Scheme
This will be the first thing a new user sees. They will be given step by step instructions on how to start the job searching process from the laptop on their desk. From here they will be able to interact with the laptop with the controllers.
This screen will show the user a "To do" list of tasks they need to complete in order to successfully find a job given the resources at USC. These tasks would include things such as "creating a resume" "talking to the career center" and "visiting the career fair".
Once the user selects "Complete Handshake Profile" in the Todo List, then they will be directed to this screen. The user would be able to complete their profile similar to the current Handshake as well as Linkedin. There will be recommendations on how a profile should look like, what to include and to exclude.
The users will be asked to make a resume. The idea is to let them choose from a list of example resumes, some being bad options and some better. Their choices will affect how the mock interviews turn out, as well as the end goal: getting a job.
The mock interview will be a 1-on-1 back and forth dialogue between the user and interviewer. There will be pre-existing choices for the user to select during their conversation and depending on the choices they select, different scenarios will pop up and recommendations of what to say will be given when the mock interview is finished.
The Career Center will serve mainly as an information hub for the user. Here, the user will interact with virtual staff as they offer more advice and strategy. If the user wants to rehear any advice they received from other scenes, they can find it here, as well as the information they missed.
The Job Fair provides the user with perspective into how the USC Job Fair will look and be organized. The user will interact with the characters with markers above their heads, initiating a conversation scene where the user will be greeted with introductions from different companies.
Each time the user interacts with a character within the Job Fair, the player will be teleported over to where that character is standing. From here the character will initiate dialogue with the user; describing their company, and asking questions about the user's resume.
