When you play games with Apple Vision Pro, you can see the greatness of spatial recognition | Gizmodo Japan

I'm addicted to this new feeling.

in JapanApple Vision ProIt's been about a month since it was released. There are many things you can do with the spatial computer, such as enjoying powerful 3D movies or working on a big screen by connecting it to your Mac.It's true that it's a high-end device that's hard to come by for around 600,000 yen..

By installing Apple Vision Pro, the sense of immersion in the content will be greatly improved, but will that really be possible?How do you feel while playing games on a spatial computer?.

“Shuriken Survivor” – Defeat ninjas by throwing shurikens

This time we will testSurvivor of the Shuriken“Spatial shooting gameThe content is to defeat the ninja army by throwing shuriken that can be seen through the screen.

The operation is very simple, no eye tracking or disc, all you have to do isJust a simple hand gestureApple Vision Pro.Excellent hand gesture recognition accuracy and recognition rangeTherefore, these strengths are leveraged in the gaming experience.

Pass-through video viewed through Apple Vision ProThere is no sense of artificial image, and the picture looks very clear and beautiful.As a result, you can be amazingly immersed in the game and time will pass in the blink of an eye.

Obstacles like chairs are also recognized, and the ninja attacks while skirting around obstacles. Also, the way the CG in the actual chair game is layered is quite natural (in the image above, you can see that the ninja's sword is hidden by the chair legs), making it look like there's a little ninja there.A picture that doesn't look out of place.I was also impressed with how well it was finished.

Also, if you throw the shuriken at a wall or ceiling, it will stick just like in real life.There are also scenes where you can experience the high precision of spatial recognition.I think the reason for this is that the combination of reality and computer graphics is so realistic that the experience of playing on a spatial computer feels very natural.

Hand Gesture Development for Apple Vision Pro

I worked on this game.GraffitiAlso known as the company that developed the hand gesture tool for the Apple Vision Pro. Apple only has a few types of hand gesture tools available to developers, but GRAFFITY uses Unity instead of Swift and has developed dozens of new hand gestures.

I hope there will be more space games that can be played using the Apple Vision Pro in the future.
