Have you ever felt the crippling anxiety of giving a speech in front of a crowd? Is practicing in front of a mirror just not enough? Do you wish you could be like those TED talk people who speak with confidence and poise?
Enter… Speak!
Our project, Speak, helps prepare people for the speeches in their life. From conferences to classrooms to debate tournaments and everything in between, Speak simulates an immersive environment in which users can practice before the real deal. With a roaring crowd, stunning auditorium, and helpful timer, Speak enables you to improve your public speaking skills and calm your nerves before your speech. Speak now!
Upon entering the scene, you are greeted with an audience and podium. You can start and stop the time by using the timer. The audience will also clap for you before and after your speech.
We were inspired by our speech giving experiences, such as school presentations, research talks, and passionate rants to friends to create this product. This was most of our team’s first time using Unity and VR, so our greatest challenge was getting used to the environment. Overall, we learned a ton about the basics of Unity, Blender, and Animation.
In the future, we hope to increase the realism of the scene, including adding more diverse characters and movements. We also hope to adjust the environment to fit various scenarios where someone might give a speech, such as in a meeting, intimate conversation, or classroom. We also plan to add immersive features such as a presentation and audio.
