Project 2 

---

I am passionate about xreating mixed realiltiy experiences in physical space. For the last part of the Fall 2022 semester, I wanted to explore the concepts of creating a location based game in physical space using the Mixed reality feature in the Oculus 2 headsets.

The players run around the physical space and collect deserts, ingredients, or other items  that are constanly falling from the sky. In their hands their is a bowl - “cookie catcher”that will is making vibrations when the catch is successful.

Documentation of my journey and the fields that I explored:
-Unity game / colliders -Unity OVR Journey step by step tutorial + settings (1)
-making the objects fall Unity (1) -position tracking with magnetometer
-position tracking with atmospheric pressure - Unity - Arduino Serial communication !

Playtesting the controller :

The controller

Inside the Box.


The controller consists of :
- Arduino nano IoT33
-vibration motor
-Atmospheric sensor
-Haptic Motor library
- 2 buttons for callibration mode
-breadborad

Breaking down the project :

1. Make the UNITY mini game (
2. Do the 3D graphics )
3. Serial Communication connect Arduino to unity …
build the MR environment in unity
Priorities

1. a)make haptic interaction work b) when point created in Unity
   
2. map bowl to virtual object in unity ?
   

Position Tracking : ideas

• 
  Pressure Barometer
  
  read about my journey here
• 
  Magnetometer (no)
• 
  A use hand position tracking (no)
• 
  plan B maybe include a button for when you catch ? (no )
  
  button is not going to work becaus

Milestones

position tracking with headset and atmospheric sensor
