Tango Sports VR

Inspiration

This project was a culmination of various ideas from the team members regarding the possibilities and endless fun we could have in virtual reality.

What it does

An android application that simulates a virtual world where the user can interact with various sports-related 3D objects.

How we built it

In this application, we implemented the various features from Project Tango, and its Unity integration, such as spacial awareness and head tracking in order to simulate the user interacting with 3D objects in a virtual environment. We achieved this through the use of the Tango API and Unity to construct the virtual world with a 3D object that the user can interact with.

Challenges we ran into

Various VR problems. Head tracking, motion sickness, positioning, sizing objects in VR, physics in Unity, creating a timed demo with multiple scenes.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Creating a fully working tech demo, with multiple levels, that shows off some capabilities of Project Tango. Creating a website from scratch, to promote our project, and Project Tango

What we learned

Everything. We started off only knowing basic Unity and web design. Most of us had not even heard of Project Tango before, or developed for Android. We just jumped in, and used the resources available to us to learn everything needed to create this project.

What's next for Tango Sports VR

n the future we will develop this application into a fully fledged multiplayer game that can show off the capabilities of Project Tango and Unity, as well as inspire others to construct their own unique projects on the platform

Created by

I worked entirely on the Unity platform, using the Project Tango API. Created the tech demo levels, objects, and c# scripts required for the application to run. Implemented my other teammate's artwork into the final product. Play tested.

I helped with coding and visualizing the project before creating it as well as planning and play testing the game. I helped with all the technical stuff.

Rishvanjay Maheshwari
I worked on formulating the ideas for the project as well as the video and overall presentation, but I also learned a lot about android development and how to code in unity.

Timothy Poozhikala
Created a site that supports the Tango Sports game. The site includes our pitch for this project, a little about how the idea came to be, a video of some real life students playing a game in virtually reality, a download link to our APK (application) so that anyone who owns a Tango Tablet can try out the game, and a link to the Project Tango website so anyone can learn more about the project. Also created Tango Sports Logo and other artwork
