LO5 - Response to Feedback

Based on the feedback given, the main sector which needed improvement is to do with privacy in terms of small chat groups. This is because the premise of the whole thing is that it is open world set over the span of many terrains. However, with this being an open world there seems to be no sense of privacy as through voice chat, people are able to listen to other people's conversations as there is no form of restrictions. 

So, to accommodate for this following on the feedback from Anne, I hope to add a 'House' feature in which people will be given a basic apartment to start with and customise however to increase revenue from the product, there will be custom houses and land surrounding up for purchase via NPC locations and will be purchased using a virtual currency specific to Atlas. This currency will also be used on clothing, cosmetics and accessories as it allows for more personalisation when it comes to my product and also serves the main purpose of allowing for a private and personal space for people to talk and have fun. I imagine that people can choose the type of location and style for each property as this will make it open to cultures and will also allow for more personalisation as some people may wish to have a property that is beside the sea whereas others may want a woodland property or perhaps a city skyline apartment.

Moreover, even though Anne suggested this product to be made more available to audiences by allowing for a desktop version, I believe that it would strip my product of it's unique selling point as it is designed to innovate upon social media through the use of Virtual reality, perhaps as technology advances I could develop new renditions of the software, whether that be through the movement into Augmented reality like seen by the company Nreal who have released their Air and Nebula series of AR glasses which allow for a virtual cinema utilising 2 cameras but also bring many other practical uses such as navigation by displaying a visual indicator in front of you of where you need to go. The reason I believe this is a little redundant is because we already have software like this such as Discord in which people can build their own communities and has most of the factors of my software however is missing the key element which is the immersive aspect, the point of my project is for a new world and space for people to interact which imitates real social interaction to a higher degree than social media messages and calls.
