"BodyNav® is a fun extended reality game that demonstrates the power of navigating space with intuitive body movement. Leverage your innate sense of space, lean in the direction you want to go, and magically minimize motion sickness. Lean your body forward and back to ""walk"" around. Lean your body left & right to sidestep. Earn points by finding and occupying 3D objects. Lose points by hitting walls. Listen for spatial audio cues and have fun! Stereo VR mode requires a passive stereoscopic 3D headset (like Google Cardboard). BodyNav technology can be easily adapted to modernize your own product user experiences with just a few lines of code. It enhances first-person gaming, multi-camera performances and sporting events, control of remote vehicles, video conferencing and telepresence applications, street-view maps, augmented reality, architectural simulations, and 3D user interfaces for browsing documents and images.

AR MultiPendulum allows you to interact with virtual objects directly with your hand instead of tapping their location on a touchscreen. It brings a mesmerizing multi-pendulum simulation into augmented reality. You interact with this simulation through hand movements and modify it through a holographic interface. Not only does this app bring augmented reality to a pendulum simulation, it is also the first app to simulate more than three pendulums. Additionally, by repurposing a VR headset for AR, this is the first app that gives users an affordable AR headset experience. If you have Google Cardboard, you can turn your iPhone into an AR headset that renders your surroundings in VR, based on images acquired using your device's camera. Some of the latest iPhones and iPads have a built-in LiDAR scanner, which allows a device to understand the 3D shape of its surroundings. On these devices, this app uses the scanner to more realistically render your surroundings and reconstruct the 3D position of your hand.
