Shiva Kannan
Safari Pinball
A Leap Motion Oculus Pinball Game
Team :
Programmers : Shiva Kannan, Andrew McLamb
Artists : Cara Chen, Chelsea Tang
Producer : Brandon Badger
Platform : Leap Motion and Oculus
Tools : Unity ( C#)
Development:
This was a fun little project where guest engagement was the key. We as a team figured that hitting/smacking something with your virtual hands was such a satisfying feeling. We then decided to go ahead with a pinball game in Virtual Reality with boards on all the 4 sides of the guest in space. We also themed the whole experience like a Safari.
Contributions:
Gameplay design : Programmed the game play code for flinging the ball off the board.
Interaction Design : Wrote the interaction script for both the instruction set and the main game using Leap Motion’s Unity API.
