Samsung Gear VR application to play Quidditch in VR

In this post I will show a mobile VR application made for fun to play Quidditch in VR. It’s not finished but the main idea is already developed. Final goal would be to play in multiplayer mode against other people a complete match.

This application was built with Unity3D, getting models from internet and optimizing them to improve performance, since target device was Samsung Gear VR with Samsung S7 Edge.

All animations, transitions and state machines were programmed by my partner Alex Oses and me, as well as all AI involved (Snitch movement, Driving techniques and few extra details).

A fellow also collaborated with the project in some stages, as it can be seen in github project.
