Next Number VR 360 is a counting game that is played in the space where the images taken by RICOH THETA S are mapped to the sky globe.
● Background
VR technology is already in the hands of many people. The smartphone owned by many is a platform for VR games. Dedicated hardware devices for VR are about to enter many households.
On the other hand, the content creation for VR faces many difficulties. There are many elements of VR technologies, and building a virtual space by oneself is next to impossible.
We wanted to show that RICOH THETA S can be a tool to create a virtual space by an individual by producing a game that is played in a space that is made from images captured by RICOH THETA S.
● Overview
The game starts with a spherical sky, taken by RICOH THETA S, filled randomly with panels depicting a soccer ball with the number from 1 to 32 each. By moving the panel with a number at the center of the screen, the number is counted and the panel with the number is removed. When all the 32 panels are removed, the game is completed, and you can see the beautiful spherical sky in the background.
