Yesterday, the nice people from Waitangi aka; Whaea Kerry, Whaea Monika and Whaea Tara helped us construct a marae in the virtual world.
We made poupou for our marae and we all had a blast!
Everything was straight forward and I enjoyed every part.
First we had to make then import our poupou into the virtual reality.
Then we came up with the idea of writing our pepeha in 3d letters and with a 3d outline to make things look better.
I made my outline squiggly with three colours, red, white and black which made it look cool because red white and black is a traditional colour combination that maori put on their clothes.
Thomas did the backbone for the marae which was cool.
After that we had a discussion and some of us pointed out that there are certain things that are outside the marae, like the taumata, grass and steps and handicap ramp.
Whaea Kerry recorded her looking at our pepehas and poupous in 3d virtual reality.
Then we finished up and they left for the day.
In my opinion it was a great day!
Everyone was enjoying it.
