 Unity Tutorial 01 While reading all three options for unity tutorial one I decided to go for option two which was 'How Google Cardboard Brought VR to the Masses'. This interested me and I thought that id go for something different and I didn't know a lot about VR in general and learned that are different kinds like AR and MR.

After I chose this topic I then looked at the research topic checklist and found a subtopic that fit in with my topic which is Ludonarrative Dissonance which is the conflict told through the story and the gameplay of the player. I then started to narrow the scope of my topic by looking at the Who, What, Where, When, Why of the topic which helped me a lot as I looked who was the playing the games where ludonarrative dissonance occurred, what happened to the game when they played it and what outcome it would have. I looked at where it would lead them in the game, I looked at when they played the game would their opinion change and decide on something else.
