About the Game
Step into a totally mundane and boring office.
An angry boss and dictator around the edges is just giving you orders.
Your one and only mission? Follow the presentation to be a better employee!
No stupidity ! But you seem to be wandering ... and suddenly this simple office chair seems to become a real game!
With your chair, go through various games projected on the ground as if by magic! But be careful not to get caught by the boss!
About My Work
As the Hardware / Tech Designer I took care of the whole construction aspect of our alternative controller.
I worked on different software and means in order to realize our alternative controller. In order to find out how to locate the orientation of our chairs during the game I was able to use Vuforia unity, an augmented reality detection software, then I preferred to work with a rotary encoder.
By installing a rotary encoder system that transmits the movement of the chair through its piston through a toothed wheel, I was able to send back to the computer the precise orientation of the chairs.
