Wandtag (Lasertag fork) for a university student orientation event.
Every year, Purdue University accepts proposals for experiences for incoming freshmen as part of their orientation program. Fusion Studio BGR entertainment challenge
My submission this year was a fork of my laser tag project swapping out the laser guns for voice-activated magic wands. Watch the video with sound on! 🔊
Players yell one of three spells − fireball, lightning, or shield − and compete to score the most eliminations against the opposing team in two minutes.
This version brings all the tech from the base game and adds voice-activated spells using Vosk, an on-device speech recognition model, and a spatial localization system using the camera API to track multiple AprilTags around the room (instead of spatial anchors).
I can't release it publicly in its current state, but I'll likely merge the wand weapon back into the base game in the future.
