4D Gaming with the MATRIX Creator
element14 presents | Raising Awesome's VCP Profile | Project Videos
Sean and Connor from Raising Awesome have been looking for a project that would establish a full suite of PCB Eagle Design Blocks and IoT code for a multitude of platforms for future projects. Then, Connor burned through all his lawn mowing money on an Oculus Rift. Using it gave them an idea - what if instead of going into the game world, the game comes to our world! So, they set out to build their most ambitious IoT build to date - the 4D IoT Game Engine. . |
