Registration Tasks

Due date: 2023-11-03 23:59.
Below are the return boxes for the first part of your registration tasks. To receive points, make sure you send your answers to us, by clicking Send Answer inside all of the textboxes.

Discord Sign-Up

After the first lecture we will send you instructions on how to join our Discord channel. Please write an answer to the question below both in our Discord channel and in the textbox below.
Please tell us whether or not you tried Virtual Reality before? If yes, then what was your experience? Did you like it?

HMD Requirements Survey: Question 1

We have about 20 Rift S and about 50 Quest 2s to distribute among you. The headsets will be handed out during a specified lab only to those who have signed up to get one on this survey. You will receive whatever HMD is available at the time you arrive to the lab.
You can use your own HMD for the exercise (Oculus/Meta HMDs), but please still answer this survey. HTC Vive can also be used, but you then have to be prepared to adapt the homework to that headset on your own. The more extra HMDs we have, the more extra students we can enroll.
Do you need to borrow an HMD? Please answer "yes" or "no".
Warning: You have not logged in. You cannot answer.

HMD Requirements Survey: Question 3

We may have some miniPCs and laptops available that meet at least the minimum requirements for VR. So, if you do not have a PC or cannot use the lab PCs for health reasons, please specify so here. There really are not enough of these for everyone (max 3-5) so if you are fine with using the TS135 (or have a PC/VR ready laptop) then leave this blank and press Send Answer.

Form a Group and Register Your Group

This is a short guide to forming a group in Lovelace. To start, choose "Group info" ("Ryhmän tiedot" in Finnish) from the top right drop down menu.

Open the menu from the highlighted button
A group is formed by one student, who then invites the other members. Important: only one member of a group should create one. If other students create a group, they can no longer be invited because they now belong to the group they created! Discuss beforehand who from the team forms the group.
In order to create a group, simply write the desired group name into the text field as seen in the example below.

Fill the group name field to create a group
Once you have created a group, you can send up to N-1 invitations where N is the group maximum size. In order to invite someone, you have to know their user ID. By default this is the same as your university username (i.e. your first and last name shortened together, and postfixed with the last two digits of your starting year), with @oulu.fi attached to the end. E.g. aasitest22@oulu.fi would be the username of the example student seen in these screenshots.

Once the invitations have been sent, the other members should visit their "Group info" page to see and accept the invitation.

FAQ

Q: How do I find group members?
A: You can either look through and post in the #team-projects channel in Discord and find group members there, or you can attend lectures and exercise labs to meet your classmates and find group members.
Q: What if more than one group member created a group?
A: Due to how answers are shared between group members, we have disabled the ability for students to delete groups, and removing members from them. If you cannot invite your group member because they have also have created a group, please contact course staff so that they can delete one of the groups.

Submit Your Group Name and Members

Once you form a group (2-3 students) and register your group on Lovelace, you can complete this registration task.
NOTE: if you are still looking for group members, leave this unanswered. Students without groups and incomplete groups will be finalized by the course lecturer after the deadline.
Please type the name of your group and the final list of members (first_name last_name) into the textbox. Make sure your group composition in Lovelace matches the list of names you submit here. If you are working solo, please type "solo project".

Borrow an HMD from Us and Submit Your HMD ID

If you have formed a group on time, we have given your group a headset, so that you can start working on your homework and the final project. Please find the HMD ID number on top of the box in which we gave it to you.
Type the ID number of your group HMD in the textbox. In case you are using your own HMD, type "own".
