The goal of the Shelter project is to learn about the shelter needs of displaced people. The participants will take the role of a business that up-cycles shipping containers to provide shelters to aid agencies around the world.
The project involves a Salesforce Lightning application and an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) application.
The Lightning application allows creating a ‘Brief’ based on requirements (budget, location, aid agency…). Participants create a configuration (bill of materials) for a brief. A configuration contains the list of material (furniture, power sources…) that can be utilized in the container shelter.
Once a bill of materials is assembled, participants use the Shelter VR application to place the configuration’s material inside the shelter in 3D.
