1. Describe your main assignments and responsibilities for this report period.

This is my first day of internship. I was given a place to work with the other interns. Even though
my main area of focus is game development with Unity Engine, I was asked to learn a new
JavaScript library called “three.js”. Which is a library based on “WebGL” that can be used to
render quality 3d content easily on a web browser. As that language(library) was relatively new at
that time in the industry there were not lot of tutorials available for me to learn. But there were
lot of documentation and examples available at the “three.js” website. Also, as it was based on
“JavaScript” I had few members of the company web team as well as my company supervisor to
help me. I was able to quickly get the basic knowledge of “three.js”.

4. Describe other professional growth opportunities (e.g., conferences, field trips, directed readings,

meeting happens. We were individually asked and assigned responsibilities by the CEO.
My supervisor asked me to develop a Virtual Reality game within the next week using
three.js.
