During our project, Anuraj, and I encountered challenges while establishing networking between devices in Unreal Engine 5.1. We faced difficulties connecting two devices, even through a local area network (LAN), and noticed that the Steam Online Subsystem seemed to be malfunctioning. Additionally, network access restrictions prevented successful communication between the devices. To troubleshoot the issue, we followed several steps. Firstly, we ensured that the Steam client was up to date and logged in correctly. We also verified that our project's settings were properly configured to utilize the Steam Online Subsystem. However, the issues persisted. Next, we investigated potential network access restrictions and firewall settings that might be blocking the communication between the devices. After examining the firewall configurations, we realized that certain ports required for network communication were not open. By adjusting the firewall settings and ensuring the necessary UDP/T...

Last week, our team came together to focus on short-term goals for our upcoming game project. The game concept was brainstormed by Kaenan, Varun, and Yashwardhan, and after reading the story, I was impressed with the creativity and detail they had put into it. While reviewing the story, I also helped fix some of the issues that they had encountered. The following information is the characters and their roles in the story that they have created, and also I am ironing out the game loop by pointing out the issues. The Characters and their roles: Miner - This is a playable character who is sent out to mine the element from the asteroids. The miner has to find five different mining spots and extract sufficient material from them as fast as possible. Engineer - This is a playable character who is responsible for fixing a series of broken pipes on the ship. The engineer is in charge of avoiding the alien stalking the halls while waiting for the miner to return to the ship. Navigator - This ch...

Introduction Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that has gained popularity in recent years due to its immersive experiences in various domains such as entertainment, education, and training. However, current VR technology mainly focuses on visual and auditory stimulation, leaving out other sensory modalities such as olfaction. Olfaction is a crucial sense that plays a vital role in our perception of the world around us and incorporating it into VR can potentially enhance the immersive experience. The use of smells in VR has the potential to provide a more realistic and engaging experience for users, making it a promising area of research. The aim of this study is to investigate the perception and experience of smells in virtual reality compared to the perception and experience of smells in the real world. This research will contribute to the growing body of knowledge on the use of olfaction in virtual reality and inform the development of VR applications that incorporate smells. Unde...
