Project: group of 6

Time: 8 - 10 weeks

​

Assignment: create a “hybrid space” by combining technologie with the real world. Think of different realities (VR and AR).

 

We decided we wanted to make an holographic pet.

After a lot of research and reading several papers on holograms, we started making a design, a creature and its holographic cage.

 

The creature had several functions. There were 3 movement sensors on every side of it (except the back) so the creature knew where the player was.

The creature could hear the player and reacted to several words like: “Hey” / “How are you?”.

When the creature was asleep, it would wake up if the player said: “Good morning” / “Wake up!”

To feed the creature the player had to start the feeding minigame: “Want to eat?” “Are you hungry?”

The minigame:

Different colored food would float in the enclosure of the creature. The creature will eat everything but, the red and blue colored food is not good for him.

When he eats one of those, the player has to say: “No” / “Wrong”

When the creature takes the green colored food, the player should praise him using: “Good boy” / “Yes”.

The creature will remember and learn. The game is over when the creature has eaten 10 green colored food items in a row.

This project is very interesting and has a large designing process, if you are interested, please see the document.
