New version of Tunepal HD submitted to Apple
I am phasing the rollout of the new version of Tunepal for IOS by submitting the iPad version Tunepal HD first. Once Im happy it has rolled out successfully, I’ll submit the iPhone version. This version has lots of minor UI changes including an update to the IOS 7 look and feel. It also allows you to import and export tunebooks a lot more easily. The main use for this feature will be synchronising tunebooks across devices. What you can do with this version is email your tunebook to yourself, then open the email on another device and import the tunebook. Tunepal will ignore duplicates. This works across IOS and Android devices.
Oculus DK2 and Leap Motion VR Demo
Hey check out my latest VR demo using the Oculus Rift DK2 with the leap motion for hand tracking in VR:
You can download the binaries and try it out for yourself! At the moment there is a bug that stops the leap service after the program runs, so I’ve included a batch file you can run to restart the service. It will probably work with a DK1 or DK2, though I’ve only tested it with the DK2 Rift. The rift should be set up in extended mode as the secondary display for this project to work. If everything looks “inside out”, change the line:
culling = back
to be:
culling = front
In the file vrgame.properties in the Content folder. You can also run the demo in non-vr mode by editing the settings in this file
The demo is coded in C++ using my custom engine (BGE). Source code can be downloaded from my git repo by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/skooter500/BGE
You also need to get the Dependencies and unzip them into the Solution folder so your directory structure for the project should be:
DIT Augmented Reality App
Myself and Alessa Baker made this silly little augmented reality app in Unity. You point it at the DIT logo and it displays a nice 3D spinning DIT logo. Download it for your Android device.
BGE V2
This summer I plan to add Oculus DK2 support and Kinect V2 support to BGE, my game engine for teaching. Here is a demo of BGE I made last summer:
Flocking in the Rift
I have released a Unity/Oculus tech demo of various Game AI visualisation techniques I implemented in Unity, including a nice cool flocking demo that gives you a boids eye perspective. Its quite trippy and immersive, even though that was not the original intent.
It works best with headphones and an XBox game controller.
Controls:
A to switch camera modes (there are three)
B toggles cell space partitioning
Y adjusts the speed of the boids
X toggles debug drawing
In free camera mode, left thumbstick will walk/strafe and right thumbstick with look. Left trigger will fast walk
Right shoulder will cycle through the various demos.
The following keys also work:
0: Seek demo
1: Arrive demo
2: Pursuit demo
3: Wander demo
4: Path following
5: Dynamic obstacle avoidance and offset pursuit demo
6: Flocking
7: Finite state machines demo
8: Path finding
F1 Toggles camera modes
F2 Speed
F4 Toggles printing of a load of debugging information
F5 Toggles drawing of the boids vectors
F6 Toggles debug line drawing
F7 Resets the camera up vector
F8 Toggles cell space partitioning
F9 Toggles non-penetration constraint
F10 Toggles Rift mode
Press escape to quit

Game AI in Unity
Ive been busy porting all my Game AI demos to Unity3D. Here is a demo:
All the code is available under an MIT licence from my github.
