S&DVR (v3) Rework

Over the past few months I have worked with Erica Kreiger to rework the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) for the S&DVR (Strike and Dip Virtual Reality) Tool. Through this process we have improved the aesthetic, functionality, and interactions of the tool’s controls and menus. In this post I will highlight some of the key changes we made to improve the program. For a comprehensive tutorial video covering all of the updated menus, windows, and functionalities in the tool, a full tutorial video can be found at the link below.
