Our Mission
Laser Up transports the user to a world where superpowers exist. Our game allows users to shoot lasers out of their eyes! We provide target objects for the user to shoot at and if they perfect their laser skills, they can successfully destroy the objects.

How
We are using the Oculus Quest, which through head tracking, we can infer where the users' gaze is at. The user can click the controller and it will appear as if a laser is coming straight from their eyes. If the user aims correctly, the target will explode.

The Experience
This game is in first person where the user feels as if they are standing inside the scene. We added haptic feedback to generate an explosion when the targets explode. The user is pitted against the clock in a timed challenge where they must destroy all targets within a certain time period.

Next Steps
What's next? We plan to immerse the user deeper into the world by taking advantage of the 6 DOF capabilities of the Quest headset. This will involve embodiment, locomotion, and improved game mechanics that require the user to move around and interact with the world in more complex ways.
