Innovative<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Instead of using traditional controllers, Aktis<\/strong> explores the idea that everything in the real world has the potential to become an interface. We built this MR project using Unity<\/strong>, Meta Quest 3<\/strong>, and ArUco markers<\/strong> to explore new possibilities for how players interact with virtual worlds. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
