For Quest Pro and Quest 2 users, Spatial Ops combines real-world settings with CGI visuals to provide a challenging AR shooter that plays nearly like laser tag.
Developer Resolution Games is known for its creative offerings such as Demeo. The most recent of its innovative creations turn the interiors of one’s apartment into augmented reality (AR) gaming experience. Players walk across the same physical space in this game and are tasked with taking aim at others, quite similar to laser tag.
The new gaming experience can be enjoyed by users of the Quest 2 and Quest Pro headsets by Meta. In the video view mode, users can view camera perspectives of their surroundings, use digital weapons and more.
As a result, the AR features become an authentic tactical shooting game experience. In it, groups of a few people work together to create an extensive virtual cover across the floor, run around with virtual shields, and engage in shootouts. Even the other players’ armour starts to erode throughout the game.
The advantage of using the new Meta Quest Pro is that users may view an environment that is clearer and more colourful. As a result of combining the image from a colour camera with that from tracking cameras with better resolution, the video being shown is of better quality.
The Quest Pro’s controllers may potentially offer minor benefits when things are busy. They use built-in sensors to autonomously monitor their own movements around the space. This happens even at times even when they are not directly visible to the Meta Quest Pro’s cameras. This makes them potentially detectable.
The technological base is the Meta Shared Spatial Anchors API interface. At its own Connect conference, the firm provided additional context through presentations on upcoming “Mixed Reality Experiences” made possible by Meta’s Presence Platform. Ata Dogan, the design lead for local multiplayer games, previously shared a brief preview of artistic renderings on Twitter.
A bazooka, two-handed handguns, revolvers, machine guns, and rifles were previously displayed by maker Resolution Games. In addition, the special troops use tools and fundamentally function as area healers and throw grenades.
The concept is similar to Space Pirate Trainer’s recently added arena game mode. Players there engage in combat in a real hall while only seeing computer visuals. Real friends become space pirates, and real walls become science fiction barriers.
Users may even connect online for a match in Space Pirate Trainer’s Arena mode even if they are in separate places. The fact that both are in a sizable, open playing space is crucial.
Uncertainty surrounds the existence of such an online game in Resolution Games’ upcoming Spatial Ops. Since the game is still in its early conceptual stages, a release date is likewise unknowable.
Furthermore, a passthrough AR upgrade is coming for the popular VR game Demeo. At the start of a round, Quest 2 or Quest Pro users set the virtual game board on a real table and view a picture of the actual surroundings. On October 25, the day of the latest Quest Pro VR headset’s release, an update will be accessible.
