Inspiration

Inner Bushido started from an idea that one of the developers who practices Samurai Swordsmanship came up with when Virtual Reality was still brand new. He went on a journey to learn more about the world living in China, Training Shaolin Kung Fu with Warrior Monks, and traveling to India to learn about Indian Spirituality. Learning these skills brought Mental Health, Strength, and Clarity and this is what inspired him to use these new Virtual and Mixed Reality tools to create Educational Simulators so that anyone can learn these skills from home or anywhere the go in the world. Now with the Mixed Reality technological advances, lower price of hardware, and ease of use, it is the right time to start to build the tools for new, immersive, and fun Educational Simulators.

What it does

This is the start of a new educational platform which is initially focusing on Samurai Swordsmanship so that anyone can learn the useful practices that are imparted by the Samurai in a fun and beneficial experience.

How we built it

Built using Unity and Meta Presence Platform for Mixed Reality experiences in the living room or in a dojo environment.

Challenges we ran into

Learning the Meta Presence Platform and all the useful features it has took longer than expected although it is very powerful, so thankful for the extended time on this hackathon to learn it while creating a fun project at the same time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud to come together as a team and create something we are proud of, especially since the team was formed late and we all had a busy schedule but we were all driven and passionate about the idea which helped keep us all on track to accomplish completing a project we can all say we are proud of, with every step we take being a calculated decision, in order to achieve all the initial goals and main points we wanted to accomplish, with the main points being Educational Platform, Realistic Simulation, and Data Analytics platform.

What we learned

Life is a battle, each decision we make alters the future, we must all make smart and calculated decisions throughout our life and even minor decisions throughout our day can yield major consequences into the future. By planning and coming up with a game plan, game design, and through good team management and communication, we were able to achieve a successful project, despite all the factors that tried to throw us off track, we stuck to the right track and hope that what we built here can help people in the future with treading the right track as well.

What's next for Inner Bushido - Samurai Swordsmanship Simulator

This is the start of Bushido Inneractive and Inner Bushido as this will become a more fleshed out startup and will branch into creating other simulators for things like Yoga, Kungfu, and Sports.
