Developing a novel MR tabletop arcade game experience through Meta Quest 2 & Unity Game Engine

This project has been selected to demo in the immersion lab at the event "Beyond Supersonic" at ArtCenter College of Design.

Demo

The Ask

How might we explore physical objects as a controller in XR? What are novel ways of utilizing virtual reality and prototyping in mixed reality?

What We Learned

Physical Objects Experiments

User Testing on Physical Controllers

With a stretchable material

With a poppin pipe

Developing the Final Controller Based on the User Testing

Developing Component-Based Design Through Code on Unity

Next Steps

I would like to add more functions to the game such as lives for the ladybug and a game timer, different maps, and more characters. Also, I would like to conduct more user testings, especially on the physical controller, for a more enjoyable game experience.
