MyoBP | Devpost

Inspiration

Our inspiration came from wanting to do something new and different, yet familiar to us, and really to just play with the coolest piece of hardware.

What it does

Using the innovative hands free tech of the Myo band, we created a beer pong client that anyone can use.

How I built it

We created the project using the Unity game dev software. We've never used it before so we practically had to rely on documentation and tutorials online as well.

Challenges I ran into

Haa. The fact that we were so new to Unity and Myo forced us to climb the learning curve pretty fast. There were several other technical roadbumps that we either avoided or compromised on.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The fact that we pulled something unique and innovative together without much experience.

What I learned

Myo and Unity! and teamwork!

What's next for MyoBP

The next big challenge!

My main contribution was creating the 3D objects (red cups) using Blender, a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software. This was little challenging since I had never used this program prior to the event. I also helped implement the characteristics of the ping-pong ball (movement, release, and return) and assisted in the creation of the look and feel of the environment. I am very happy with what we accomplished since we were all very new to the Myo armband, unity, and C#.

My main contribution to this project dealt with the interface of MyoBP. I used unity to help design the look and feel of the game. Particularly on the physics aspect of it. By using something in unity known as "colliders", I was able to incorporate realistic effects, such as the ball bouncing off the rim of a cup. This was my first time using unity and I am glad we were able to come up with something so awesome!
