slotc.AR
iOS Universel / Jeux
slotc.AR lets you build virtual tracks and challenge your opponent
in quick, adrenaline-paced car races, in Augmented Reality (AR) scenarios. You can play a "solo" game (vs an AI-driven car) or multiplayer, but the tactic is only one: fast in the straight, careful in turns!
The basic requirement for any AR experience is the ability to create
and track a correspondence between the real-world space the user
inhabits and a virtual space where you can model visual content - the
track.
To experience the best from slotc.AR, follow these simple hints:
- World tracking involves image analysis, which requires a clear image.
Ensure lighting conditions are sufficient and stable (low reflection),
and try to select surfaces with enough visible details.
- Allow time for plane detection to produce clear results. Plane
detection results vary over time: as the plane remains in the scene over
time, slotc.AR refines its estimate of position and extent.
In order to successfully play multi-player races, the process is a bit
more involved: starting from iOS 12, an AR experience can be shared
between multiple devices. The steps are listed below:
1. Run the app on the master device. You can look around the local
environment, and tap to place the starting piece. 2. Run the app on a
second device. On both device screens, a message indicates that they
have automatically joined a shared session. 3. The other device displays
a message indicating that it has received the map. Wait until the track
is shown on the second device, or tap the ≷ button on the master device.
Make sure the other device is in an area that the first device visited
before sending the map, or has a similar view of the surrounding
environment. When that process succeeds, both devices show virtual
content at the same real-world positions, the track can be completed,
and the race started.
The connection between peers player is automatic: as soon as one of the
player correctly maps the environment and place the first piece of the
track, he acquires "master" status. The master builds the track, chooses
race type, and governs the flow of the game (he can start another race
on the same track, change track/location...).
Up to eight players can share the AR experience: two compete, the others
are spectators; when the race ends, and a new one is triggered, a
spectator can take over the previous player and substitute him. You can
organise a tournament, with multiple races on same or different track.
Good luck and... good racing!
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
. Raised tracks: you can raise sections of the circuit for "8-like" configurations
. Lap times tracking in "Training" mode
. Better finishing for single pieces of the track
