🛠 Technologies Used:

🚀 About: NFCPlay is a project that presents the use of an NFC tag (Near Field Communication) as an input mechanism on VR headsets.

💻 Development: User input in Virtual Reality (VR) mobile games on the touch screen has been a problem in the gaming industry for many years. Some solutions using timers, waiting to look at something to act, have been proposed and used in several games. Some VR headset models had a magnetic button on the side. However, this button caused interference in the magnetometer and the GPS module, essential modules for developing games using VR. The framework was created in native code for both platforms and unified in a wrapper in Unity3D. The framework generates an event-based subscribe activated by any NFC tag, which simulates a touch on an object in the game.
