Games & Tech Victoria Talk - Designing for Immersive AR: The Sky's the Limit
Thursday, April 13, 2023 (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM) (PDT)
Description
Rob Roe, Hololabs' VP of Rendering and Systems, will give an overview of designing and creating immersive AR experiences on mobile platforms and through their expierences creating their upcoming game Sky Haven. He will review the current state of AR technologies for mobile games (eg, AR Foundation, Qualcomm’s Vuforia, Niantic Lightship, Social apps) along with our own solution for rendering both near and far AR content. There are different approaches and solutions that support bringing AR into the skies around us, and we’ll discuss the affordances of this technique for gameplay and immersive world-building. We’ll touch on the use of maps in conjunction with the AR sky occlusion system as well as the narrative and game design tricks to mitigate edge cases.
