It was difficult this week to find time to work on the term project when there were also other more heavily weighted assignments due and a midterm to study for. I hope that I will have a bit more time after this week.
For the Living Room, we can use a looped ambient living room soundtrack I found for now because there are considerably fewer sounds expected for this environment. To accomplish this, an entity will need to be created for the purpose of sound source. This will likely be placed on the ceiling plane to have a consistent sound throughout the entire space. Additionally, some sound effects should be linked to when collisions occur between different materials.
Resources for playing sound effects on collision:
For the Warehouse, I will still need to make a looping soundtrack using the sound effects I found. I aim to make it around 60 seconds long so that it is not too repetitive. I am composing the overall sound in Audacity, but will be exporting some tracks separately as they will have sound sources emitting the sounds from different locations in the Warehouse environment while playing simultaneously. This should give a better effect in the 3D space. Evidently, some of this work will need to be coded within the A-Frame project.
A screenshot of my working file (~5hrs, some sounds needed to be cleaned up) can be seen below:

In the near future, I will be helping Maxime with making a mood board for the environments and developing a colour scheme rather than just having random colours. As can be seen in the Design Comps, some improvements can be made in terms of colour and texture choices to improve cohesiveness and environmental aesthetics.
