Movie night, concert or immersive team meetings, all in virtual reality!
Live Events aims to replicate real life group experiences in VR. Users can join a multiplayer session as avatars in a customized VR space for either collaborative activities or watch an immersive 360 live video stream.
I was a full stack developer for this project and worked on developing the multiplayer session including spawning, avatar animation syncing and voice chat with dynamic voice intensity based mouth animation. Additionally, we developed a unified avatar control system which detects the platform modes and changed the controls dynamically for each user. The avatar control modes are defined as follows:
VR Headset (Oculus Quest): Fully synced Hand controls with an arm rig on the avatar.
Mobile VR (Android and iOS): Mobile gyroscope based head movement with a timed gaze cursor for interaction.
Handheld Mobile/Magic Window Mode (Android and iOS): Gyroscope based head movement and view with touch for interaction.
Below is a feature reel of the Live Events app:
