MR Application 1: 3D Design Prototype in VR

This VR application serves as an early prototype for a potential 3D design app. It focuses on implementing basic XR interactions and key functionalities.

Environment

• Custom skybox and floor

• Platform/table and shelf included

• At least four interactable objects from VR Interactable Objects package placed on the shelf

Navigation and Controllers

• Right controller: Direct interaction only

• Left controller: Teleportation with reticle for destination visualization

Feedback

• Hover and Select feedback with sound clips and vibrations

• Interactable objects play sound on collision and have bouncy material

Interactions

Highlight Object

• Selected objects change to custom highlight color (modifiable in Inspector)

• Color reverts when deselected

Clone Object

• Press A button (primary) on right controller to clone selected object

• Clones current version, not prefab

Destroy Object

• Press B button (secondary) on right controller to destroy grabbed object

• Visual effect and sound clip played on destruction

Color Wand

• Placed on platform at game start

• Pickable by either controller

• Change tip color with trigger button (random color each press)

• Touch interactable objects with tip to change their color

MR Application 2: Enhanced 3D Design App

This application builds upon the first, adding various UIs and novel interactions.

Environment

• Custom skybox and floor

• Platform included

• At least six shapes from XR Interaction Objects folder on wrist menu

Controllers

• Left controller: Wrist menu control (3D rotatable object)

• Right controller: Direct interaction only, with pointer for interactions

Wrist Menu

Shapes Panel

• Default panel

• Six different addable shapes

• Shapes highlight white when hovered

• Selected shapes added to scene with effects

Colors Panel

• At least four selectable colors

• Colors applied to right controller pointer on hover

• Visual feedback on hover

Menu Panel

• Reset button to reload current level

Interactions

Highlight Object

• Hovered objects match pointer color

• Reverts to original color when not hovered

Color Object

• Press trigger to apply pointer color to hovered object

Clone Object

• Press A button to clone selected object

• Cloned objects respond to physics and self-destruct at distance

Destroy Object

• Press B button to destroy grabbed object with effects

Resize Object

• Use right joystick to scale objects (up to 4x larger, down to 0.5x smaller)

MR Application 3: VR Beat-Driven Exercise Game

This application is a VR game inspired by BeatSaber and HitStream, focusing on destroying diamonds to the beat of music.

Scenes

1. Lobby: Main menu with three level selection buttons

2. Levels: Three game levels with similar design but different songs

Gameplay Mechanics

Shapes (Diamonds)

• Spawn at distance, move forward

• Players punch with correct controller (color-coded)

• Break into pieces when correctly punched (based on punch strength)

• Score increments on successful punch

Blocks

• Obstacles to avoid

• Random spawning and sizing

• Players lose points on collision

Scorekeeping

• Start at 0 points

• Gain points by punching diamonds correctly

• Lose points for incorrect punches or block collisions

• Game over if score drops below 0

• Win by surviving until end of song

Level Manager

• Monitors game state (Win/Lose)

• Manages UI updates and game-over conditions

Feedback

• Haptic feedback for all collisions

• Controller vibrations for punches and collisions

MR Application 4: AR Darts Game

This AR game utilizes spatial awareness for an immersive darts experience.

Dart Board

• Traditional design with scoring slices

• Initially placed at default position

• Plays impact sound when hit

Spatial Anchor

• Players anchor board to real-world surface

• Anchor persists across game sessions

• Repositionable by grabbing and moving

Scoring

• Displays best score, current score, and time

• 1-minute gameplay

• Points awarded based on board sections hit

Dart Behavior

• Three darts in holder on left controller

• Grabbable by right controller only
