Inspiration
- Real Pet Augmentor was inspired by the bond between humans and their pets, particularly cats and dogs. We wanted to create a game that not only entertains but also highlights the importance of connecting our furry friends. With the idea Gamify daily activities with furry companions, we create this game to play together with our pets.
What it does
- Interact with your real pets in the Mixed reality world by petting them, grooming their fur, and avoiding the scary cucumbers to strengthen your bond!
How we built it
- We built it with Presence Platform, with the ability of passthrough, depth, scene to build a Mixed reality experience.
Challenges we ran into
- How to recognize and interact with pets without camera access: we chose to use a joystick to bind to the pet to achieve this goal.
- To achieve realistic occlusion effects between real and virtual elements, we used the Depth API to help manage the occlusion relationship between the pet and virtual elements.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- As we know, Real Pet Augmentor is the world's first MR experience with real pet.
- The game shows the potential of how mixed reality can augment our daily activities.
What's next for Real Pet Augmentor
- Massage the Pet: Using mixed reality technology, this feature guides users through real massage techniques and pressure points for pets or human companions, creating a fun and interactive massage experience.
- Multiplayer Mode: Similar to real-life interactions, multiple users can participate in interacting with a real pet together, enhancing the MR experience.
- AI Powered the Pet: By utilizing camera and audio data along with multimodal AI capabilities, this feature helps users better understand their real pet's expressions, sounds, and behaviors, enriching the MR experience.
