Multi-User VR Cooperative Puzzle Game

Abstract

Multi-user virtual reality (VR) games are at the cutting edge of interpersonal interactions, and are therefore uniquely geared towards real-time interactive games between human players. This paper describes the process of designing a cooperative game where the obstacles are designed to encourage collaboration between players in a dynamic VR environment. This is done using the Unity game engine and the Blender graphics modeling tool. We demonstrate the progress of our scheme in a multi-player cooperative game, as well as the importance of the VR interface for encouraging cooperation. The VR experience provides a realistic human-human interaction improving on generic game-play, as our system utilizes the real-time interface to create an entertaining VR experience.
