Design Concept · A mixed reality game to let you play tennis between your laptop and your smartwatch
Role · Team Lead, Unity Developer
Result · Our team of 4 won the Caesar Award at the DC Hardware Hackathon
Concept Exploration
The ball moves between three worlds : Computer, Real and Smartwatch
Prototype v1
We implemented the game for a computer in which you could bounce a ball between two surfaces by moving your hands
Ball can be controlled by moving the hand
Ball follows hand movement, does not exits the boundary
Challenges
The bandwidth of the Bluetooth connection between the Pebble smartwatch and the laptop was very low. So, although we could send events between the two, playing a game in which the position of the ball changes very rapidly was just not possible.
