Augmented Reality In-Game Interfaces for IoT

Inspiration

Wouldn't it be cool to control IoT devices from your game or an interactive virtual 3D model of your home?

Imagine if you're playing a scary game and your connected thermostat can instantly blast the AC mode when a poltergeist is haunting your scene... or if the game's global weather system could be controlled by real world sunlight from a light meter on your plant!

What it does

We created an extension/plugin for any Unity app to connect to AWS and the (currently) desktop-only WebGL live demo is available at the link below. (Wait for it to load)

How we built it

@yosun built the clientside using her Unity framework RealityScript (wrapped into her gyroFIRE platform for the web) utilizing 3D art models from the asset store

@ratub who has been lead engineer @ Oracle for many years (and now looking at her next opportunity) built the serverside AWS integration
