Design and development of an asymmetrical multiplayer game powered by augmented reality and gesture recognition

Abstract

This document consists on a technical proposal of the Final Project for the Videogame Design and Development Degree. The project is based on a three-dimensional videogame for Android devices, where two players cooperate to solve puzzles but each player interacts with it in a different way. One sees level elements from an augmented reality perspective and the other player sees other elements from a first person view. In addition to asymmetrical gameplay, multiple techniques have been used for gameplay purposes (anamorphic illusions, gesture recognition, light baking, recursion) or optimization (object pooling).
