An Interactive Attraction in Mixed Reality : BLADESHIPS

Abstract

A new type of interactive attraction in mixed reality environment, BLADESHIPS, has been designed and developed. The BLADESHIPS is a game in which players compete with each other by controlling virtually expressed belt-shaped flying objects, "ships", with their hands in a real environment. They control their own ships by avoiding other ships and real/virtual obstacles. They try to drive enemy ships to hit the obstacles. The occlusion between real and virtual objects and the collision of virtual ships with the real environment are represented to increase the reality of the game.
