FUNDAMENTAL IDEA

Hedonomic Pyramid Framework
In our class, we applied the Hedonomic Pyramid framework to structure our exploration of immersive design practices. By breaking down the process into sections like Safety, Functionality, Usability, Enjoyment, and Individuation, we gained insights into industry-tested principles. These principles, as showcased in our modified pyramid, served as valuable starting points for our discussions and learning about comprehensive immersive design standards.

Safety
Integrating instructional guides within the UI to provide users with clear guidance on interaction techniques, ensuring they feel confident and safe throughout their experience.
Function
Implementing the bouncing ball using hand tracking as the central interactive element, serving as both a visual focal point and a mechanism for users to engage with the virtual space, generating harmonious sounds as they interact.
Usability
A user-friendly interface with intuitive options for customization and navigation, including easy access to features like adjusting sound settings and quitting the experience, ensuring a seamless user experience.
Pleasure
Incorporating visually captivating graphics and dynamic sound effects triggered by the bouncing ball, creating a multisensory experience that delights users and fosters a sense of enjoyment and immersion.
Individuation
Allowing users to experiment with different interactions with the bouncing ball, each resulting in unique sound effects and visual responses, empowering users to create their own personalized experiences within the virtual harmonies crafted through interactive ball bouncing.
