Shadow shooter: 360-degree all-around virtual 3d interactive content

Abstract

"Shadow Shooter" is a VR shooter game that uses the "e-Yumi 3D" bow interface and real physical interactive content that changes a 360-degree all-around view in a room into virtual game space (Figure 1). This system was constructed by developing our previous interactive "Light Shooter" content based on "The Electric Bow Interface" [Yasumoto and Ohta 2013]. Shadow Shooter expands the virtual game space to all the walls in a room just as in Jones' "Room Alive" [Jones et al. 2014]; however, it does not require large-scale equipment such as multiple projectors. It only requires the e-Yumi 3D device that consists of a real bow's components added to Willis's interface with a mobile projector [Willis et al. 2013]. Thus, we constructed a unique device for Shadow Shooter that easily changes the 360-degree all-around view into a virtual game space.
