Perspektiva

Inspiration

A few weeks ago we started playing with Google Cardboard. Since Virtual Reality has already been implemented plenty of times, we decided to play with Augmented Reality... but then we came with simpler and more enjoyable idea. We were inspired by... Out-Of-Body-Experience, and Outside-The-Box thinking ;) And by the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOg7mj1_-sk . It's awesome.

What it does

Basically, it's an experiment for two players. Thanks to two VR goggles and smarphones with high resolution cameras and displays, you can see the world through other person's eyes... and vice versa. You can feel like you're in a cinema and the movie... is your life.

How I built it

Fast.

Challenges I ran into

Choosing the best streaming protocol. Optimizing frame rate, quality and other attributes to gain the lowest possible latency. We hate lags.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The experiment is actually pretty fun for the people who have experienced it! It allows you to see the world from the different perspective and suddenly tasks like high-fiving or grabbing a fudge become a world class challenge. we're especially proud of ourselves that we've conquered the mighty stairs to the 2nd floor using Perspektiva. :D
