Creating our design document

In the previous section, we discussed the importance of design thinking when creating immersive VR experiences. Now, we can use this foundation to design our own VR project by developing a comprehensive design document that clearly defines the project’s goals, audience, and features. This document will also guide us through an iterative creative process so that we can refine our ideas.

To begin, we need to identify what our target audience can expect to gain from the VR experience and define the scope of the project. We will then start the iterative creative process, expanding on a list of key features and refining our ideas as we go. Throughout this process, we will explore relevant research, references, and resources to help us make informed design decisions.

Using the insights gained from our design thinking process, we will create a robust roadmap for the project that guides us from start to finish. This roadmap will detail the implementation...
